May your tears keep you tender As this world tried to harden your heart May you rise above temptation 'Fore the pedals on the rose fall apart And may the sun dance on your shoulders Should those weathered clouds return another day And may the wind Godspeed you Should you stray too far away If love is overflowing Then drown yourself in all it has to give And if life is music Let the sing become the dance For which you live And be indebted to your friends For their kindness is a gift You shan't repay And seek the prayer of your own Mother Should you stray too far away When the enemy is quick to raise his hand Let your sweet words be a sword And may your hope fill up the seasons In true color May you dream forever more And when old hands are trembling As they turn the pages of your yesterdays May God's chariot await you Should you stray too far away Yes when old hands are trembling As they turn the pages of your yesterdays May Gods chariot await you Should you stray too far away
