Side by side,   driving the same highway.   Leaving behind everything   and everyone you love.   The cost to pay,   to tell the world of Jesus.   Hoping that these bridges burned   will not be just in vain.      It helps to think that somewhere   you're feeling just the same.   And don't take even   a moment for granted.   Don't lose heart   when the world crashes down.      How many miles ahead?   I can't count the ones behind.   To all the friends that we've collected,   all the people we respect.   For the hope and joy.   We made this up and wrote it down   and dedicate this song to you.      No turning back,   and can't say that I regret it.   When every day,   God's promises testify themselves.   Sometimes it's hard,   and the road keeps stretching longer.   Tonight my wife's a longing voice   on a Holiday Inn phone.      How many miles ahead?   I can't count the ones behind.   I wish you God's speed, friend.   You're always on my mind.   Will you remember me, say,   seven years from now?   And where will we be then?   Well, I'm here for you now.
