311 - 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 twenty 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 thirty 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
