Over the Years

Over the years I have travelled many lands

Over the years I have come to understand

That down the path of life there are joys and there are tears

Many lessons I have learned over the years

It seems like many years ago I packed my bags and had to go

Along the many highways far and wide

To cities I had never seen, to countries I had never been

And strangers that I met became the best friends in my life

Over the years I have travelled many lands

Over the years I have come to understand

That down the path of life there are joys and there are tears

Many lessons I have learned over the years

Planes with silver wings have taken me so far away

To places of rare beauty, neon lights as bright as day

But even with good friends around or when I'm all alone

Constantly my mind would turn to loved ones and to home

Over the years I have travelled many lands

Over the years I have come to understand

That down the path of life there are joys and there are tears

Many lessons I have learned over the years

Over the years I have travelled many lands

Over the years I have come to understand

That down the path of life there are joys and there are tears

Many lessons I have learned over the years
