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 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

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 twenty years of age
In frolic and in rage
I will see it through in time

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

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

I�ll be here awhile, ain�t going nowhere
Said I, said I, said I
I will survive

311 - I'll Be Here Awhile
