The Valley Of Decision
Life is more than women and wine.
You have to settle down sometime.
I know, I know, you say party on bro.
Life is just one great big show.
Tell me, since your such a bright guy.
Do you feel the parade is passing you by?
Think about it for awhile.
Don’t just sit there with a smile.
Here is some words for thought.
Read them but, don’t get distraught.
You’ve got to walk that lonesome valley.
You’ve got to walk it by yourself.
Oh, nobody can walk it for you.
You’ve got to walk it by yourself.
“What the hey?” I hear you say.
“What’s that got to do with today?”
Think about it. You’re a party guy.
When you leave you’re pretty high.
Then here comes the bad luck.
You get run over by a truck.
Do you think you will be ready to go?
With all that parting & putting on a show.
If your mind has a little doubt.
Think about it. You’ll figure it out.
You’ve got to walk that lonesome valley.
You’ve got to walk it by yourself.
Oh, nobody else can walk it for you.
You’ve got to walk it by yourself.
I think you’re starting to see the light.
You can drink and party all night.
But, no matter what you do.
You can never run away from you.
Someone loves enough to forgive
all you’ve done to try to live
in a world full of sin and hate.
Turn to Him before it’s too late.
He will give you peace of mind.
He’ll love you till the end of time.
You’ve got to walk that lonesome valley.
You’ve got to walk it by yourself.
Oh, nobody else can walk it for you.
You’ve got to walk it by yourself.————-R. W. Johnson—–(2012)
