 There's a sorrow in  the wind
 Blowing' down the road  I've been
 I can hear  it cry while shadows  steal the sun
 But I can not look  back now
 I've come to far to turn around
 And there's still  a race ahead  that I must run
 I'm only half-way home  I gotta jour-ney on
 To where I'll find  the things  that I have lost
 I've come a long long road  still I've got miles  to go
 I've got a wide  wide river  to cross
 2
 I have stumbled I  have strayed
 You can trace  the tracks  I made
 All a-cross  the memo-ries  my heart recalls
 But I'm just a refu-gee  won't you say a prayer  for me
 Cause some-times  even the strongest  soldier falls

I've come to far to [G]turn [D]around

And there's [Bm]still a race [G]ahead that I must [D]run [G]   [D]

I'm only [Bm]half-[A]way [D]home I gotta [Bm]jour-[A]ney [D]on

To where I'll [Em]find the [G]things that I have [D]lost [G]   [D]

I've come a [Bm]long [A]long [D]road still I've [Bm]got [A]miles to [D]go

I've got a [Em]wide wide [G]river to [D]cross [G]   [D]

You can [D]trace the [G]tracks I [D]made

All a-[Bm]cross the memo[G]-ries my heart [D]recalls [G]   [D]

But I'm just a [G]refu-[D]gee won't you say a [G]prayer for [D]me

Cause some-[Bm]times even the [G]strongest soldier [D]falls [G]   [D]
