And the wind will whip your tousled hair,
The sun, the rain, the sweet despair,
Great tales of love and strife.
And somewhere on your path to glory
You will write your story of a life.

— Harry Chapin Sequel (1999)

More quotes by Harry Chapin

I never really drove a cab, but I do have a hack license in case of emergencies – like no money.

Oh, if a man tried
To take his time on earth
And prove before he died
What one man's life could be worth,
I wonder what would happen to this world.

All my life's a circle;
But I can't tell you why;
Season's spinning round again;
The years keep rollin' by.

I spent a week there one afternoon.

The major thing I'm afraid of is being 65 and saying, 'Gee, I wish I had done this and that, and that.' I want to face old age knowing I've tried all I wanted to try.
