I Was Down In The Valley

Of The Shadow Of Death

Where The Passion For Life

Drained Like Blood From My Chest

And It Took More Than My Will Just To

Take A Step

When The Compass Of Hope

Was Gone



In A Silence So Black

That I Wished For The Blues

Every Desperate Prayer

Seemed Like Heaven Refused

And Some Days I Found Faith Meant Just

Tyin' My Shoes

And It Was

All I Could Do

To Press On



Press On Me Amigo

Press On Mon Ami

Walk On In The Face

Of The Mystery

Though The Night Hides The Light

Through The Darkness Still Dawn...

Tie Your Shoes, My Dear Friend

And Press On



(Walk On)



On The Ocean So Lonesome I Was Not Left On

Had Some Heavenly Friends

When My Heart Was A Stone

And They Carried My Heartache And

Made It Their Own

When The Current Of Sorrow

Was Strong

(and One Said)

"I Pray Your Memories Will Not Drag You Down

Not Be Anchors But Treasures

Of The Love That You've Found"

And His Kind Words Turned Hurt Into Comfort Somehow

And The Wind In My Sails

To Press On



So Press On Me Amigo

Press On Mon Ami

Walk On In The Face

Of The Mystery

Though The Night Hides The Light

And The Journey Is Long...

Lean On Me, My Dear Friend

And Press On



Though The Days Seem Like Years...

There May Be Giants In Our Fears...

Ah, But They Who Are Sowin' Tears

They Shall Reap In Joy

They Shall Run And Leap For Joy!



So Press On Me Amigo

Press On Mon Ami

Walk On In The Face

Of The Mystery...



(...)



Though The Night Hides The Light

And The Journey Is Long...

Lean On Me, My Dear Friend

And Press On Me Amigo

Press On Mon Ami

Walk On In The Face

Of The Mystery

Though The Night Hides The Light

And The Journey Is Long...

Tie Your Shoes, My Dear Friend

And Press On!
