"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."
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
"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."
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 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."
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
"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)."
