Story Behind the Song
This song was written at a time when I was just recovering from heavy set backs. I could write it because I had decided to look ahead and at the same time accept the past as something that was part of my way, part of what it takes to get where I'm bound for.
Lyrics
I've come to the point of no return
From now it's on ahead
Old lights are out, old bridges burn
Old times are past and dead
The time has come to tackle things
Before they're grey and old
No time to loose, spread out my wings
And guide me to my gold
Chorus:
Guide me to my gold, guide me to my gold
No time to lose, spread out my wings, guide me to my gold
Spread out my wings and take me there
Guide me to my gold
I'm ready now, I really dare
To break my early mold
And even though my days of then
Lay whithered, still and dead
I'll know they were important when
The final tear is shead
Chorus:
The final tear is shed, the final tear is shed
I'll know they were important when
The final tear is shed
It too must be, the final tear
When feelings find their place
And what will cause it I don't fear
If love will guide my ways
Old loads away from me will slide
New life is in the air
So spread my wings and open wide
I know I'll make it there
Chorus:
I know I'll make it there, I know I'll make it there
So spread my wings and open wide, I know I'll make it there
