Kim Churchill Smile As He Goes Home lyrics

An old man's life is set in stone,
And 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 lines 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 gully 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,
Did not know his purpose or if it had been fulfilled,
Maybe we're all living on till where dead,
No meaning is given to the grass we are fed,
Maybe the light that he shone to the world
Like each of us have like each animal beholds,
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.
