lyrics

MAY YOUR EYES BEHOLD THE PUREST LIGHT
MAY YOUR CHILDREN FIND GREAT HAPPINESS
MAY THE YEARS THEY SERVE TO GUIDE YOUR HANDS
MAY YOU FIND SWEET LOVE AND TENDERNESS
BUT THE GOLDEN BIRD LAYS NO GOLDEN EGGS
AND LIFE'S SWEETEST THINGS THEY COME SO HARD
AND YOU KNOW MY FRIEND YOU'LL NEVER REACH YOUR GOAL
IF YOUR EYES ARE FILLED WITH THE STARS
MAY YOUR HARVEST SEE YOUR WAGONS FULL
MAY YOU WALK WITHIN GOD'S NARROW PATH
MAY YOUR VOICE RESOUND WITH JOYFUL SONG
MAY YOU NEVER FEEL YOUR WOMAN'S WRATH
BUT THE GOLDEN BIRD LAYS NO GOLDEN EGGS
AND LIFE'S SWEETEST THINGS THEY COME SO HARD
AND THE HARDEST CLIMB FINDS THE HIGEST PEAK
AND YOUR EYES CAN SEE FOR MILES OH OH
