A young girl walking down the street
She found a man in a well of his own blood
She knelt to help, rose his head
The tramp said I'll be happy soon
But I've one thing to say before I go
Never give your life away
Never let the world go trampling on your dreams
Never close the doors nor take all you hear
Life is all a big surprise
The journey is to fill your heart with love
Back home that night she stood at the window
A gentle breeze rose the leaves beneath the trees
The twinkling stars hid behind the moving clouds
Then she made up her mind
No one saw her for a while
Time went by, things and people changed
Lying in her dying bed
She called to her surviving son
I've one thing to say before I go
Never give your life away
Never let the world go trampling on your dreams
Never close the doors nor take all you hear
Life is all a big surprise
The journey is to fill your heart with love.
