I hear old folks talk about the past
How they made every moment last
How they made it through
When they saw what God can do
Why their hearts run free
Why they see what’s meant to be
The beautiful place
Filled with mercy and grace
The road they’ve traveled
Why their souls never unraveled
The unconditional love
Coming from heaven above
How they hold each other close
Cause bonding matters most
Why God’s encouraging word
Is the best they’ve heard
Finding a place
To run their race
How God dried their tears
And removed their fears
And all the dreams
That make them burst at the seams
I hear old folks talk about solid ground
All the joy they’ve found
The affection they feel
Things they know are real
What they chose to ignore
Why they’re filled to the core
When they learned their name
Then let go of their shame
When they looked ahead
Without an ounce of dread
The path God set
Why they let go of regret
How they learned to live
How they learned to give
Why they opened their eyes
To a wonderful surprise
And embraced life
While letting go of strife
