About	DAVID LEE BURR April 10, 1958 - November 6, 2005 LORD, thank you for the open air, the feel of wind blowing through my hair, just me alone upon my bike, The thrill of freedom's what I like. To wind through country unexplored, Not knowing when I'll see you next, LORD; That's what I seek when off I ride, I'm thankful that you're by my side, If I should ride 'till morning's light, Please keep me safe throughout the night; And when I've come to journey's end, it's you I'll thank - Protector, Friend.
