I have seen the skyline burning
And I have watched the deals go down
Lost myself in seasons turning
And I have walked on sacred ground
Lived through nights that never ended
I have had belief suspended
Through and through
But after all is lost and won
After all is said and done
I am you...

I have taken foolish chances
I have watched my leaders lie
Fallen hard for love's advances
And walked away when I should have tried
I have filled my heart with hate
Cast it out 'fore it's too late
What else can you do?
Times like these you must remember
No quarter, no surrender
I am you...

I'm gonna hold on and see how this plays
Brother to brother till the end of my days
And that song you've been singing
Well it pulls me on through
I am you...

I have stopped instead of started
And I have watched my children grow
Stood by graves of friends departed
And found out just how much
I do not know
Followed when I should have led
I have left too much unsaid
Sad but true
And after all is lost and won
After all is said and done
I am you...

I'm gonna hold on, gonna see how this plays
Brother to brother till the end of my days
And that song you've been singing
Well it pulls me on through
'Cause I am you...

I'm gonna hold on, gonna see how this plays
Brother to brother till the end of my days
And that song you've been singing
Well it pulls me on through
I am you...

I am you...

I am you...

My Last Day On Earth
--words and music by Michael Stanley​
On my last day on earth
I think I'm gonna stay out late
Maybe head down to Avalon
Watch the sun come up over the lake...

On my last day on earth
I really ought to make me some calls
Tell some people some things I forgot
I don't know if it'll matter at all...

All I know is my time is coming
Gonna hold on for all I'm worth
And I just want to be with you
On my last day on earth...

On my last day on earth
I'm eating anything I please
Walk my dogs one last time
I wonder how they're gonna be...

On my last day on earth
I want to feel all I can
Take out the car for one more drive
And crank up some jungleland...

'Cause all I know is my time is coming
Gonna hold on for all I'm worth
And I just want to be with you
On my last day on earth...

And I'm keeping this heart on fire
Right till the final call
'Cause if I hadn't I'd never have found
A love like yours at all...hey

On my last day on earth
I'm hoping my kids can tell
How they've meant everything to me
And I hope that I've taught 'em well...

On my last day on earth
There just won't be enough time
To count all of my blessings
And thank God for these friends of mine...

All I know is my time is coming
Gonna hold on for all I'm worth
And I just want to be with you
On my last day on earth...

All I know is my time is coming
Gonna hold on for all I'm worth
And I just want to be with you
On my last day on earth...

On my last day on earth...
On my last day on earth...

On my last day on earth...
All I want to do
On my last day on earth...
