1 Too many miles behind me,
Too many trials are through
Too many tears help me to remember
There's too much to gain to lose.

Refrain:
Too many sunsets,
Lie behind the mountain,
Too many rivers
My feet have gone through,
Too many treasures
Are waiting over yonder,
There's too much to gain to lose.

2 I've crossed the hot burning desert
Struggling the right road to choose
Somewhere up ahead,
There's a cool clear water,
And defeat is one word I don't use.
