Old Man:
At the break of dawn
She knocked on my door
I was shocked she seemed
So tired and sore
And she said
It’s been time
For a change for so long
All I know
I have to
I have to move on
And I stood on the porch
Where we used to dance
And the world, somehow,
Didnʼt make any sense.
And so I
Tried to smile
Though I didn’t know why
Watched her go
And waved her,
And waved her goodbye
Someday Iʼll meet you,
Someplace I’ll greet you,
Somehow it’ll lead you back to me
It may take a lifetime
And be where the stars shine
It may be the place
Where the earth and sky meet
And the years went by
But I did not forget
Her touch, her lips
The words that she said
Suddenly
Just a glimpse
And a warm well known smile
Clear to see
What kept her
What kept her alive
Someday I’ll meet you…
Choir:
Someday I’ll meet you
Someplace Iʼll greet you
Somehow itʼll lead you
Lead back to me
Old Man:
Why should I seek
Why should I ask
What should I strive for
If not you
Why should I seek
Why should I ask
Why should I strive
I am a Man
I am the word
I am the deed
I am the heart
Thank God Iʼm a Man
I felt the cold
I felt the heat
I felt the love
Thank God Iʼm a Man
Choir:
Why should I strive
What should I seek if not you
Why should I ask
What should I seek if not you
Why, what should I strive for if not you
