lyrics

There's a village with an old man
Several hundred miles from here
Always leaves his front door open
For the creatures who appear

Everyday he sits beside them
Listens to their every qualm
Never loses his momentum
As he listens to their song

Secretly he keeps a record
Of the struggles they reveal
Every night he shuffles through them
With a gentle-handed feel

And he sips his cup of coffee
For some momentary strength
To embolden his empathy
And enable to erase

The old man sighed and wiped his sweaty brow
He closed his eyes, though he tried to disallow
His troubled mind was filled with every trial
And by design, he helped them reconcile

In the morning when he wakes up
There's a crowd within his house
So he tiptoes down the hallway
Quiet as a field mouse

And a floorboard creaks below him
Making his heart skip a beat
Soon appears a line before him
As they bow down at his feet

He softly smiles and presents an open palm
Once in a while, he gives a subtle nod
One by one, examines their lifestyle
And by design, he helps them reconcile

As he looks over the valley
Several hundred feet below
He can't help but ask the question
Why his heart is filled with woe

"What would happen if I left them
With a crassly worded note
Of my sudden resignation
And a worldly anecdote?"

"If only you'd foresee the error of your ways
Instead of always looking back
Then maybe you'd kindly improve your sorry lives
And keep yourself on track"

The old man shook his head now
As he wandered back inside
And he wiped his sweaty eyebrow
While he poured a glass of wine

And he wrinkled up the paper
That contained his heady claims
And he threw it in the fire
As he stoked the steady flames

So he carried on the next day
With a sedentary style
As he listened to the creatures
Who would walk a thousand miles

To hear his words of guidance
And see his brimming smile
As he listened to their troubles
And he helped them reconcile
