I'll Be Here Awhile

I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
 I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
 I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
 I'll be here a while
 
 Far is solace in the maddening pace
 Sad state written on my face
 Not a tight rope walk but dance
 Uncertain game of chance
 But I'll see it through in time
 I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
 I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
 I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
 I'll be here a while
 And if a person place or thing can deliver
 I will quiver with delight
 Tempted by the hand that could
 Blind my vision and sight
 But at 20 years of age
 In frolic and in rage
 I will see it through in time
 I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
 I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
 I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
 I'll be here a while
 
 But the dawn has come into the endless night
 And everything's going to be alright
 But at 30 years of age
 Through frolic and in rage
 All regressed and healed in time
 I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
 Said I, said I, said I, I will survive
