lyrics

They told me son one day you’ll see the world
for what it is what you have to do
may not always be clear to you

Take my advice for I am older I am wise
I’ve travelled the world seen her expanse with my own eyes
You see, in life there comes a time when we must
put our loves aside, but that day hasn’t come
so I’ll just take a Rain Check

Worn out ivory and honeyed antique strings
somber melodies across the church they sing
I see that fire in your eyes until the music dies
now the cold shroud of silence fills the air
So I placed my hands upon the tattered strings
and I filled the room with echoes of my plea
and the voice trapped in me now finally free
until tears filled my eyes I did sing

It was never a secret that I was not of the crowd
I was never really fond of being loud
and amidst the screams and the shouts
I would have never made it out
with out a few warm hands to pull me from the dark
so not alone but not in strength I pushed through
it was a smile that drew me close to you
and when all else was changing I knew you were here to stay
and in the face of hate and fear we knew only love
but they told me…

Take my advice for I am older I am wise
I’ve travelled the world seen her expanse with my own eyes
You see, in life there comes a time when we must
put our loves aside, but that day hasn’t come
so I’ll just take a Rain Check
but that day hasn’t come
so I’ll just take a Rain Check


They told me son one day you’ll see the world
for what it is what you have to do
may not always be clear to you

Take my advice for I am older I am wise
I’ve travelled the world seen her expanse with my own eyes
You see, in life there comes a time when we must
put our loves aside, but that day hasn’t come
so I’ll just take a Rain Check
but that day hasn’t come
so I’ll just take a Rain Check
