Smile As He Goes Home

An old man's life is set in stone. He learnt his lessons long ago. So much had he seen of his life and his dreams that he knows. To smile as he goes home
He'd seen lies etch into his face. And his smile had earn't its years of grace. Long gone where his friends, his foe met their ends and he knows to smile as he goes home
And i wish i had learnt more. Oh listened a littler harder to their stories. Said seen in their eyes the light that they shined down. He'd seen times of light and times of dark. But he'd shine, shine on in spite. He said for a fully is deep as a mountain is high and you will find. Both have beauty and shine
And i wish i had learnt more. Oh listened a littler harder to their stories. Said seen in their eyes the light that they shined down
He knew he would die soon and all would be still. But did not know is purpose or if it had been fulfilled. Maybe we all live on till where dead, no meaning is given. To the grass we are fed. His life was spent now oh lighting up the dark, like each of us can, we can all leave our mark. Don't pity the old because their stories are told in the sun
