Lyrics

There’s a part of me I left in California
Now it’s gone for good I understand
I held tightly to her hand
Heaven had another plan
I gave my heart so willingly
I was young enough to dream

An older man I start again a single life
The way my father fell was not for me
And I found a brand new scene
When I gave up everything
And they taught me how to sing
And I’m young enough to dream

I won’t turn my head and run
I will face the sun
Say goodbye to tear filled eyes
I've found my peace of mind
When I leave a little something behind

So show me the sunlight so I can stop runnin

There’s a new life here for me in this congregation
Brothers sisters raise a joyful sound
The chords are the same
But the back beat is changed
Now that the source of light is found
And the stuff of dreams is found

I won’t turn my head and run
I will face the sun
Say goodbye to tear filled eyes
I find my peace of mind
When I leave a little something behind

Now I saw the light so I can stop runnin
