Lyrics
He told me old stories
Reflecting on narratives of the past
Of victories and failed tries
Recalling both successes and failures
Over fences, through the valleys
Describing challenges overcome in various landscapes
With steady hands painted his own skies
Symbolizing the act of shaping one's destiny with determination
Dead ends and new beginnings
Encountering obstacles and new opportunities
Found his heart and kept her close
Finding and cherishing love
Oh but it wasn't always easy
Acknowledging the difficulties in the journey of love
The path to love has its lows
Recognizing the inherent challenges in love
And he said after all it's time that gets you through
Emphasizing the healing power of time
Lift your head the road is yours to choose
Encouraging resilience and self-determination
(Ooh ooh ooh)
Musical interlude
He told me old stories
Reiterating the sharing of past experiences
From before the days flew by
Reflecting on time passing quickly
Time moved in slow motion
Describing a period of life moving slowly
Skipping rocks and chasing dragonflies
Recalling carefree moments and simple joys
Down by the river's edge
Referencing a nostalgic location by the river
There's a place they used to swing
Reminiscing about a childhood hangout
Turned a simple little house
Transforming a humble dwelling into a dream-filled home
Into a home full of dreams
Symbolizing the power of dreams in building a home
And he said after all, it's time that gets you through
Reiterating the importance of time in overcoming challenges
Lift your head the road is yours to choose
Encouraging a positive outlook and personal choice in the journey
After all it's time that gets you through
Repeating the theme of time as a healer
Don't forget the road is yours to choose
Emphasizing the importance of personal agency in decision-making
(Ooh ooh ooh)
Musical interlude
Don't, don't you forget
Warning against forgetting the lessons of the past
Don't hang your head
Encouraging resilience and a positive attitude
(Ooh)
Musical interlude
Don't you forget
Final reminder not to forget the journey and its lessons
