lyrics

You jump in the car of stranger, in a rode you never saw
You take the hands of that man, and live the life that you dreamed of
But soon your life goes by, and you don't know where it went
To be off to seek solace in the face of emptiness
Nine days they were, yet ten they have been
It makes no difference, it matters not to me
For the road ahead is fading, and I hear the Lord calling me
To pick me up in His hands, forever gaze upon His seat
You lay in a bed of roses, in a place you never saw
A ship sailing far ahead, to a place it won't return
For my lines here are written, and my days counted beforehand
To wait at rest for mine
