Old Man’s Grace Lyrics by Nathan Evans
[Chorus]
"Oh, I don't know where we're going, but I know we'll find our way
There's a light that tries to get 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."
[Verse 1]
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
He took a breath and this is what he said
[Chorus]
"Oh, I don't know where we're going, but I know we'll find our way
There's a light that tries to get 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."
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
"Oh, I don't know where we're going, but I know we'll find our way
There's a light that tries to get 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."
[Bridge]
So raise a glass to days gone by
To the young mountains that reach the sky
Although his voice may fade away
His wisdom in our hearts will stay
[Chorus]
"Oh, I don't know where we're going, but I know we'll find our way
There's a light that tries to get 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)."
