I've got a lot of miles to travel

I hope I always know the time to stop

            C 
The time to stand up and be counted

The time to sit down and shut up 
         D 
I hope I always find the threads 
    A 
And remember how to spin them

I hope I always want the details

Even when the devil's in them 
         G                A                Bm            G 
And when promise comes to take me and when push comes to shove 
         E           G 
I hope I always stay worthy of your love 
         E           G              D 
I hope I always stay worthy of your love
