the odyssey of life is filled with pain
and hurts more deep than we have ever known
escape one woe, and one more strikes again
when sorrows come, they never come alone
we've battled storms beyond our heart's control
and if we stop to rest, we're overwhelmed
the weariness steals strength right from your soul
yet somehow this lost ship sails on unhelmed
but you were there each moment of this ride
and somehow, you have made the darkness fun
through all this hell, you never left my side
it makes me sad the journey's nearly done
we've only got to make it one last mile
renew my strength with one more pretty smile
