The Richness of Life
I've given up a lot
To fight for things that I believe in.
Now and then I've won,
But now and then I guess I've lost.
Always traveled lightly.
So many places that I've been.
I wonder sometimes
If the fight was worthy of the cost.
Coins are in my pockets,
But far less than I would like.
Many dreams I've had
That I'm sure never will not come true.
It's getting hard to walk.
Sure as hell can't take a hike.
But I am rich, my friends.
As long as I've got friends like you.
