An Old Troubadour Original

May your goodbyes lack all bitterness. May your memories bring a smile. May your friends and family hold you tight When you’ve been gone a while. May your heartstrings ring with music’s song Each time that they are pulled. May you remember all the warm times. And move beyond the cold. And may Peace, may it be with you. May it sing to you your lullabies And soothe all suffering’ too. May it surround your world around As sure as morning’s dew. And with every fresh footfall may peace fall too… May you find your power from within to take another step ahead May you cultivate your courage And may your fears you shed. May you hold to your convictions In a world of unsure ground. And may every “you” that ends up lost Lead to a new “you” found. And may Peace, may it be with you. And then to friend and family And birth a world anew. And whatever trails you pass-over For whatever you persue My hope and prayer is peace will go with you. nd’may you see the beauty, As the world around you view. And know that dark is transitory, And that light is all that’s true. May faith be your conductor May you find power in virtue And may you greet the world, Peace Be With You. Peace be with you. Peace be with you. And all the family of mankind, no matter line or hue May it surround your world around As sure as morning’s dew. And with every fresh footfall may peace fall too… And wherever that peace falls may it be with you…
