Story Behind The Song

Was inspired to write this song when I lost my father and was thinking about all of us as we live our lives and what becomes of all our experiences once we pass from this earth

Song Description

Reflective song that ponders all the experiences one has during a lifetime and what becomes of those experiences once a life is over.

Lyrics

Take it with me when I go

Words & Music by: Christopher Paul


From the very first breathe the moment we're born
The pages of life start beginning to form
Who we are where we've been or what we might be.
In the dance of life and for however long
A life in this world is allowed to hold on
Comes al the experience living can bring

But I want to know will I take it with me when I go
The lessons of life, the love and the learning
The moments of laughter, the times of forgiving
When I finally reach the end of the road
Is the journey lost, or will I take it with me when I go.

Is the trail of time we travel upon
Just a road to redemption and life ever on
With no regard for all that's endured in between
For there is no doubt every moment will end
And some say we live life again and again
Well if hat's true next time, I hope to be wiser

But I want to know will I take it with me when I go
The lessons of life, the love and the learning
The moments of laughter, the times of forgiving
When I finally reach the end of the road
Is the journey lost, or will I take it with me when I go.

Looking back on all that's lost or gained
From the cradle to the grave
I can't believe that it's all left behind
When we finally leave this place.

Yes I want to know will I take it with me when I go
The lessons of life, the love and the learning
The moments of laughter, the times of forgiving
When I finally reach the end of the road
Is the journey lost, or will I take it with me when I go.
