I hear old people say

God will make a way

That an answered prayer

Shows God is there

That they gain strength

By talking with God at length

That what they feel is real

Something they can’t conceal

I hear them say every journey

Is ordained by God only

Their souls are free

They know what’s meant to be

That they rest on solid ground

And share the joy they’ve found

They know what they hold

That their story will be told

They build new dreams

That make them burst at the seams

They know where they stand

As they hold God’s hand

They remember who they are

As they reach for a star

They say life is better

Cause they embrace it to the letter

I hear old people say

They do a victory dance

Whenever they get a chance

They know what’s in stone

They know they’re not alone

They say God is the light

They follow day and night

They complete every mission

With crystal clear vision

They look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Cause they know God set their path

Without unleashing His wrath

I hear old people say

They rest in a home

Where their souls can roam

They hang on God’s word

Cause that’s all they’ve heard

And they enjoy every day

Old folks say
