1
My father was a working man
2
But his work was never done
3
He stood behind a counter
4
And he smiled at everyone
5
He bought himself a business
6
Worked seven days a week
7
Took a holiday for Christmas
8
Then he fell asleep beside the tree
9
But one day
10
One day
11
There's love for the lonely
12
One day
13
They walk in the sun
14
One day
15
Rest for the weary
16
Rest for the weary ones
17
Now my mother stood beside him
18
She did what she could do
19
But if you look at some old photograph
20
She looks tired too
21
I hope there was some laughter
22
'Cause I know there were some tears
23
Now all I can say is I pray to God
24
That after all those years
25
After all those years
26
That one day
27
One day
28
There's love for the lonely
29
One day
30
They walk in the sun
31
One day
32
Rest for the weary
33
Rest for the weary ones
34
Now I'm just another traveller
35
On another winding road
36
I'm trying to walk some kind of line
37
I'm trying to pull some kind of load
38
Now sometimes I move real easy
39
Sometimes I can't catch my breath
40
Sometimes I see my father's footsteps
41
And man it scares me half to death
42
But one day
43
One day
44
There's love for the lonely
45
One day
46
We walk in the sun
47
One day
48
Rest for the weary
49
Rest for the weary ones
