I'll Be Here Awhile

[Chorus] I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere I’ll be here awhile [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere I’ll be here awhile [Verse 2] And if a person, place, or thing can delive I would quiver with delight Tempted by the hand that could blind my vision and sight But at twenty years of age In frolic and in rage I will see it through in time [Chorus] I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere I’ll be here awhile [Bridge] But the dawn has come into the endless night And everything’s going to be all right But at thirty years of age Through frolic and in rage All regressed and healed in time [Outro] I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere Said I, said I, said I I will survive
