I’ll Be Here Awhile Lyrics
[Chorus]
I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile
[Verse 1]
Far is solace in the maddening pace
Sad state written on my face
Not a tight rope walk but dance
Uncertain game of chance
But I’ll see it through in time
[Chorus]
I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile
[Verse 2]
And if a person, place, or thing can delive I would quiver with delight
Tempted by the hand that could blind my vision and sight
But at twenty years of age
In frolic and in rage
I will see it through in time
I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile
[Verse 1]
Far is solace in the maddening pace
Sad state written on my face
Not a tight rope walk but dance
Uncertain game of chance
But I’ll see it through in time
[Chorus]
I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile
[Verse 2]
And if a person, place, or thing can delive I would quiver with delight
Tempted by the hand that could blind my vision and sight
But at twenty years of age
In frolic and in rage
I will see it through in time
[Chorus]
I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile
[Bridge]
But the dawn has come into the endless night
And everything’s going to be all right
But at thirty years of age
Through frolic and in rage
All regressed and healed in time
[Outro]
I’ll be here awhile, ain’t going nowhere
Said I, said I, said I
I will survive

Genius Annotation
Lead singer Nick was 20 when he scripted the lyrics and then 30 when the song was recorded. Now he’s 46 – so I guess he was right all along.
