ALL by Dan Dyer Don't you ever quit because the road's Getting too rough Don't you close your eyes because you Think you've seen enough There'll be harder times but I know you'll Make it through And I will be so proud of whatever You decide to do Women and men will come and go In both of your lives And you will know your time when it arrives May the world be open and lead You where you seek And may you find the courage when It's cold and dark and bleak May your winters always warm into spring CHORUS: Oh my children, take what I have given I won't always be around when you fall What would I surrender to be with you forever? All There'll be many times when you will Question what to do And there'll be many Y's in the many paths In front of you And sometimes mistakes will seem to cloud All of your days If you're like me darkness may come More than you want And there will be those who say you're Never going to win Then beg aboard as your sails have Caught the wind Well may you put everything in its own place And not be consumed by the running of the race May you find the strength to strive somewhere within CHORUS: Oh my children, take what I have given I won't always be around when you fall What would I surrender to be with you forever?
