Miles To Go

Brother I've been walking farther

Than any man has ever been

I got these scars on my feet

And I've got these bruises on my chin

People they all staring in wonder

Some they even laugh at me

They don't know just what I'm seeking

And if they did we would disagree

Lift up your eyes and don't stand still

People of the world

And people of the will

Move on and on and on down this road.

Don't give up and don't give in

Someday you will be strong again

But there's still miles to go.

Sister let me tell you something

Please don't call this bravery

If you understood my reasons

You'd be here to stand by me

Up ahead: a chorus singing

In that city set upon that hill

Brother that's where I'm going

And if you want you can join me still

Lift up your eyes and don't stand still

People of the world

And people of the will

Move on and on and on down this road.

Don't give up and don't give in

Someday you will be strong again

But there's still miles to go.

If you need me

I'll wait for you, oh I'll wait for you

When I am gone, I am gone

Lift up your eyes and don't stand still

People of the world

And people of the will

Move on down this road

Don't give up and don't give in

Someday you will be strong again

But there's still miles to go
