Too many miles behind me

Too many trials are through

Too many tears help me remember

There?s just too much to gain to lose.


Too many sunsets lie behind the mountain

Too many rivers my feet have walked through

Too many treasures are waiting over yonder

There?s just too much to gain to lose.


I?ve crossed the hot burning desert

Struggling the right road to choose

But somewhere up ahead, there?s cool, clear water

And defeat is one word I don?t use.



There?s just too much to gain to lose.
