I'll stay

You cannot be rid of me.....

You cannot be rid of me
Not yet, not yet, you see.
I have not seized the moon
that paints the sea,
Nor touched the star
which guides my way
Down the road to destiny.

You cannot be rid of me
Not yet, not yet, you see.
My wish is not for immortality,
But just that something
to shine for eternity.
I'm here to stay
Until I leave that legacy.

You cannot be rid of me
Not yet, not yet, you see.
I'm here to thank God
For the miracle of me
For the branches He set
Upon my tree.
Yes earth, you cannot be rid of me.
