To feel the earth beneath my feet
To indulge and laugh and drink and feast
To kiss my baby goodbye
To correspond a stranger's smile
Somehow I've held on
To see my brothers proud of me
To remember who I used to be
To embrace lovers and friends
And love it all until the end
To cry to feel to learn to teach
To sit upon a mountain peak
To feel the sun rise day by day
And the countless things I've left to see
I'm so glad I've held on
