“Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.”

“How long, how long must we sing this song?”

“Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,"
The shade replied, —
"If you seek for Eldorado!”

“Won't you help to sing,
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had,
Redemption songs.”

“It is a long way through darkness
to the way of the eremite
the eremite sings of the world and of
the journey of love, which is not lost in eternity…”

“I'm singing this song for you and your mum that's all,
And it won't be long before everyone is gone.”

“Walk towards the sunshine, and the shadows will fall behind you.”

“Keep yourself to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.”

“I had wanted to say that my song was far too painful to sing.”

“So turn it on, turn it up, and sing a long
This is real; this is your life in a song.
Yeah this is country music.”
