For far too many of my years
I felt confused and at a loss
I thought life was too demanding
Living had much too high a cost

Then one day I met a wise man
Who told the story of his tribe
Felt so good to listen to him
Of his lessons I now abide

He said that life was quite simple
If we practiced God's gift of love
If we listened to The Spirit
Who was sent to us from above

"If your days seem too difficult
As you travel along your trail
Slow down and take a bit more time
Going too fast you're bound to fail

"Take time to look all around you
There is so much for you to see
God's miracles will astound you
And He's offered them all for free

"Your trails are easy to travel
There are stops all along your way
Placed there for you to rest a spell
'Fore you travel another day

"Your days of toil are all numbered
And He will let you know just when
You will be completely at peace
Before you reach your trail's end

"You will have time to sit and rest
At a place to restore your soul
To bring back happy memories
You made as you were growing old

"Just let your spirit be at peace
For your time is not yet to be
And if you should have more questions
Simply bring them all here to me"

I took all that he had taught me
On my trails I walked on again
Yet I know we'll meet one more time
Before I reach my last trail's end
