Solitude
Duke Ellington, Eddie DeLange, Irving Mills
Solitude,solitude
We come into this world alone
And to this place we return again
Far away in a quiet place
Try to think of an open space
I watch my life flash before me
Remembered friends that I love so dearly
And while a veil obscures my vision
I surrender to the will of God
I found peace ,yes I found at last
All I see has been meant to be?
Down, down in the forest clearing
With a breeze blowing through the branches
And I breathe in and out so very slowly
It sends a shiver right down my spine
In the quiet I can come to terms with
All I've done and who I am
I turn and face the sun
Then all my troubles fall behind me like a shadow
In solitude
Solitude
