    Story Behind the Song
    The wife of the priest at Scott's old church had struggled several times with cancer. The third time it was clear that the cancer was finally going to take her. She had the luxury (if you can call it that) of time to travel around in those last few months, saying goodbye to family and friends -- time to "get her affairs in order", as the saying goes. We hope this song will be of comfort to somebody somewhere.

    Lyrics
    WHERE I'LL BE
    This version ©1998 Scott Cowan, Joe Scherk, Peter Violas
    Lyrics: Scott Cowan, Joe Scherk
    Music & Arrangement: Scott Cowan, Joe Scherk, Peter Violas

    Another ache in another new place
    Another pill to take, another symptom to chase
    And I feel like it's time to find myself a place to kneel

    And pray for grace and perseverance
    A winged embrace to hold the near and the dear ones
    'Cause they're scared, but I'll tell you, I'm prepared

    CHORUS
    To walk that long straight and narrow
    I'm not a prisoner to this body of mine
    But they say the cancer's running deep in my marrow
    Can you help me make the most of a little time?

    And I don't know if it shows
    But I'm feeling each breath grow shorter
    I guess it's time to put our affairs in order
    And be sure that you'll be well provided for

    CHORUS 2
    To walk that long straight and narrow
    To keep your faith and leave your fear alone
    And don't you paint me as a saint or a hero
    I've never found perfection on my own
    He's the brightest Light, we've always known

    So as the curtains close around me
    I feel the final touch of all of you who surround me
    It's the way you say goodbye
    That helps to light the way to die

    So shed a tear for an ending
    But God in Heaven gives His heart to your mending
    And you'll see, that anytime and anywhere you think of me,
    Then you know where I'll be.
