Should You Stray

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
