A Song For Him

When the troubles of the day

Tell me my thoughts have gone astray

One person still can listen

Talkin' 'bout the times of life

Troubles, happys, good and strife

Just vaguely reminiscin'

His eyes are always open

Though he sometimes doesn't see

The chain is never broken

And he is a friend to me



When I cannot find myself

And wish that I were something else

I listen to him talkin'

A story teller from the fold

And though I've heard the ones he's told

The come back when I'm walkin'

In the jingle jangle jungle

Of things I dare not know

His door is always open

And I know where I can go

And I know where I can go



I think back to days when we were both so much younger

Sometimes we really never had a lot to say, no

No one ever told us growing up would be easy

Maybe that's why we help each other try to find the way
