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 tries 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

There's something laying heavy on your chest"

With troubled eyes, I nod my head and knocked 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 tries 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 I'm 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 are 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 tries 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"

So raise a glass to days gone by

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 tries to guide us even on our darkest days (even on our darkest days)

May your cup be overflowing (may your cup be overflowing)

With a smile upon your face (put a smile on your face)

Hope you cherish every moment

May your days be filled with grace (may your days be filled with grace)
