Verse: 1

                       
There's a sorrow in the wind

                           
Blowing' down the road I've been

                                            
I can hear it cry while shadows steal the sun

                       
But I can not look back now

                        
I've come to far to turn around

                                            
And there's still a race ahead that I must run


Chorus:

                                      
I'm only half-way home I gotta jour-ney on

                                            
To where I'll find the things that I have lost

                                            
I've come a long long road still I've got miles to go

                                 
I've got a wide wide river to cross


Verse: 2

                     
I have stumbled I have strayed

                         
You can trace the tracks I made

                                        
All a-cross the memo-ries my heart recalls

                                                
But I'm just a refu-gee won't you say a prayer for me

                                               
Cause some-times even the strongest soldier falls
