When I said that I was leaving here for good Back then I meant it Angry letter in my hand, there I stood And never sent it But I'd hope and I'd pray That I could hold back the days Because I knew not where they lead Efforts spent to keep on smiling Though our fences never mended Golden Rule redefined Never broken, though we bend it Oh we hope and we pray And we hold back the days Believing in a better place Though we know not what that means Lessons learned here at least Go in peace, this mass has ended Though our eyes will point the way The mystery must be defended Hope and pray That the road will lead you back someday Believing there's a better way And we know just where it leads
