lyrics
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back;
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back;
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And 'til we meet again;
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
Until we meet again.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back;
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And until we meet again, my friend,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Amen.
