I'll Be Here While

I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere I'll be here a while Far is solace in the maddening pace Sad state written on my face Not a tight rope walk but dance Uncertain game of chance But I'll see it through in time I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere I'll be here a while And if a person place or thing can deliver I will quiver with delight Tempted by the hand that could Blind my vision and sight But at 20 years of age In frolic and in rage I will see it through in time I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere I'll be here a while But the dawn has come into the endless night And everything's going to be alright But at 30 years of age Through frolic and in rage All regressed and healed in time I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere Said I, said I, said I, I will survive
