I'll Be Here Awhile

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

Far is solace in the maddening pace

Sad state written on my face

Not a tightrope 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 would quiver with delight

Tempted by the hand that could blind my vision and sight

And 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-I

I will survive
