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)
