Paroles de Old Man's Grace

Oh I don't know where we're going but I know we'll find our way
There's a light that shines to guide us even on our darkest days
May your cup be overflowing with a smile upon your face
Hope you cherish every moment, may your days be filled with grace

I was walking over cobbled streets, my legs began to tire
I was looking for a place to rest my bones
See a crowded room, an open door and smoke from open fire
There's an old man there sitting on his own
He turned to me, said "Take a seat and grab yourself a half
Is there something laying heavy on your chest?"
With troubled eyes I nod my head and knock my whiskey back
Then he took a breath and this is what he said

Oh I don't know where we're going but I know we'll find our way
There's a light that shines to guide us even on our darkest days
May your cup be overflowing with a smile upon your face
Hope you cherish every moment, may your days be filled with grace

Now where he used to be his words become my own
I remember everything he said that day
And if someone sits down next to me and they're all alone
Then I'll take a breath and this is what I'll say

Oh I don't know where we're going but I know we'll find our way
There's a light that shines to guide us even on our darkest days To the old man's tales that reach the sky
Although his voice may fade away
His wisdom in our hearts will stay

Oh I don't know where we're going but I know we'll find our way
There's a light that shines to guide us even on our darkest days
May your cup be overflowing with a smile upon your face
Hope you cherish every moment, may your days be filled with grace
