Free at Last

A brief candle; both ends burning
An endless mile; a bus wheel turning

A friend to share the lonesome times
A handshake and a sip of wine

So say it loud and let it ring
We are all a part of everything

The future, present and the past
Fly on proud bird You're free at last.

- Charlie Daniels, on en route to funeral of his friend
