"Soon Be Far Behind"

My soul has borne a heavy load
My eyes have always seen
My feet have walked the rocky road
And not along the green
The many words that I have heard
Have never left my mind
But had I stopped to count them all
I'd soon be far behind

You wake up wond'ring every day
Where charity has gone
For those you pass along the way
Don't know what's going on
Don't stop to cry or wonder why
Some people must be blind
For if you'd stop to count them all
You'd soon be far behind

[brief musical interlude here]

There's beauty in the setting sun
And life upon the plains
For where the rivers never run
There's hope in falling rain
And love is there and everywhere
In all that you can find
But if you never stop to look
You'll soon be far behind
Yes, if you never stop to look
You'll soon be far behind
