I am part of all that came before me
I have been a farmer and a fiddler and trader
I have been a pirate, a soldier, a sailor
I have been a salesman, a preacher, a housewife
I have been a widow, a father, and a son
I have fought the king, the Yankee, the Nazi
I have loved and lost and loved again.
And I am a part
Of the line of men,
Gray as mist, coming forward
Stretched beyond the horizon
Out to the stars
Out to where eternity ends
Back to where life begins
I am part of all who came before me
And they are part of me
