Today I watched the miles roll by,
As I was heading west.
Like some lonely knight of old
Upon a holy quest.

De Vaca gave his life to find
The fount which promised youth-
And I suppose I’ve given mine
To find and tell the truth.

I’ve left behind the ones I love-
To take a lonely trail...
To seek, to help, the outcast ones
I cannot, must not fail.

Who am I? and what’s my claim?
Why I am but a voice-
Crying in the wilderness....
It is my call, my choice.

And I, for one, am so glad that you have made the choice to use that voice! What a loss it would be for us if it were ever silenced.
