The lyrics to 'Backwards'

			CHORUS:

You've got to
LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE
You've got to
Find your own wife
BACKWARDS
N'if it ever goes that
way You'll re
Member her in
May Love her more each
Day..

Well the
Jobs they ain't enough and THE
GOING IS GETTING TOUGH
The sun is shining but THERE'S
NO SENSE IN RHYMING andour
Feet are getting hot but
No one would think to stop there's
Just no place to climb on while IN
SIDE YOUR HEART's a diamond um.. um..
Umm

CHORUS:

Even when your feet are slow they
Always get you where you need to go; ya
FOLLOW GOD AND HE'LL LEAD YOU THROUGH-oo
EVERYTHING YOU WALK INTO. n'
Soon He seems to fade away
Just when you thought He'd stay. She
Says 'Boy, put your sights up high. He
Hasn't left -- He's in the sky-y-
Y

CHORUS:

A-
Midst the questions there is a Guide, as she
Walks with you by the ocean's tide
Chains of pride that bound you Jus' like
Guilt no longer hound you - You
Turn in sweat but she isn't there -- she'sslipped
Passed your world beyond the air. There
Ain'tnothin't'get upset about -- You
Know you'll reach her round about (WITH OUT A DOUBT!)

CHORUS:

These lyrics are set in a simple folk tune, which regrettably I cannot share with you. But, over and over I have found myself returning to the words 'Follow God and He'll lead you through everything you walk into.' It could be a motto. Maybe it's my motto.. May God bless and keep you in all of His myriad ways. Sayonara!
