1
In grandpa's eyes I see the struggles
2
Of a simple man and all his troubles
3
I see faint traces of past generations
4
I see myself
5
In grandpa's eyes
6
Grandpa's hands were rough and callused
7
They pounded steel for thirty years
8
They built the trains for the Illinois central line
9
The riders were safe
10
In grandpa's hands
11
On an august afternoon
12
The white socks would play
13
On a cheap transistor radio
14
He'd listen to the game
15
Cicadas all a buzz
16
About a hundred and ten
17
In the stifling heat grandpa would hope
18
But the Sox would just lose again
19
Grandpa's clothes smelled like camphor oil
20
He'd mix a liniment
21
In case one of us got sick
22
He'd rub my grandma's legs
23
She was in such pain again
24
I'll never forget the smell of grandpa's clothes
25
Sometimes after dinner we'd drive
26
Down to Wolf Lake
27
Grandpa loved the peacefulness of that time of day
28
There we'd fish for perch
29
"˜til the sun touched down over the oil refineries
30
In grandpa's eyes I see the troubles
31
Of a working man and all his struggles
32
To raise a family
33
During those depression years
34
I shall always find
35
Strength
36
In grandpa's eyes
37
I shall always find
38
Strength and hope and love
39
In grandpa's eyes
