I was just a boy and I traveled on I knew not where I'd lie Oh, my ma was gone, my pa'd moved on But I'd seen that blinding light And that fire burned so deep and wide My heart was clear and bright And I said, "Someway, Lord please, someday Let me kneel before your sight" Now the light that shines Through the smoking pines Tells tales of days gone by Of my wife who left Of the tears I've wept How I drink more than I'd like And that fire burned all through the night The flames took up the sky And I said, "Someway, Lord please, someday Let me kneel before your sight" Well, the years have come and the years have gone And I've seen this all before And if there's nothing new underneath the sun What has been shall be once more And that fire burns But it's not as bright It gets harder to recognize But I'll learn someway Lord please, someday Not to seek, instead to find Oh, I'll learn someway Lord please, someday Not to seek, instead to find Oh, I'll learn someway Lord please, someday Not to seek, instead to find
