After All These Years
After all these years
I would've thought all my fears were laid to rest
But I still get scared
And I thought that all my struggles
Would be victories by now, but I confess
That the mess is there
But oh-
I know the work that You began
Is coming to an end someday
After all these years
After all this time
I thought that the rhythms and the rhymes
Would come so easy
But it's still so hard
It's the same twelve notes, six strings,
And a million little mysteries
And one broken heart
But oh-
There is an everlasting song
I'm gonna sing along someday
'Cause You never let go, You never let go,
You led me by the hand into a land of green and gold
And You never let go, You never let go
Your love endures forever, wherever I go
After all these years-
That's all that I know
Oh, oh
From Illinois, to Shiloh, to the Warring,
To the cliffs at Castle Rock
I've been longing for a land
But not everyone who wanders is lost,
'Cause every road I walk
Is in the palm of your hand
And oh-
There is a house with many rooms
Where I'm gonna be with You someday.
'Cause You never let go. You never let go.
You led me by the hand into a land of green and gold
And You never let go, You never let go
Your love endures forever, wherever I go
After all these years-
You never let go, You never let go.
You led me by the hand into a land of green and gold
And You never let go, You never let go
When after all the years have gone and I've grown old
I'm gonna go home
To the arms of a Father
Who'll never let me go
After all these years,
That's all that I know
Oh, oh, You never let go
Oh, oh, You never let go
Oh, oh.
I would've thought all my fears were laid to rest
But I still get scared
And I thought that all my struggles
Would be victories by now, but I confess
That the mess is there
But oh-
I know the work that You began
Is coming to an end someday
After all these years
After all this time
I thought that the rhythms and the rhymes
Would come so easy
But it's still so hard
It's the same twelve notes, six strings,
And a million little mysteries
And one broken heart
But oh-
There is an everlasting song
I'm gonna sing along someday
'Cause You never let go, You never let go,
You led me by the hand into a land of green and gold
And You never let go, You never let go
Your love endures forever, wherever I go
After all these years-
That's all that I know
Oh, oh
From Illinois, to Shiloh, to the Warring,
To the cliffs at Castle Rock
I've been longing for a land
But not everyone who wanders is lost,
'Cause every road I walk
Is in the palm of your hand
And oh-
There is a house with many rooms
Where I'm gonna be with You someday.
'Cause You never let go. You never let go.
You led me by the hand into a land of green and gold
And You never let go, You never let go
Your love endures forever, wherever I go
After all these years-
You never let go, You never let go.
You led me by the hand into a land of green and gold
And You never let go, You never let go
When after all the years have gone and I've grown old
I'm gonna go home
To the arms of a Father
Who'll never let me go
After all these years,
That's all that I know
Oh, oh, You never let go
Oh, oh, You never let go
Oh, oh.
