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 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 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 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 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

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 shines 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)
