My father was a working man    But his work was never done    He stood behind a counter    And he smiled at everyone    He bought himself a business    Worked seven days a week    Took a holiday for Christmas    Then he fell asleep beside the tree    But one day       One day    There's love for the lonely    One day    They walk in the sun    One day    Rest for the weary    Rest for the weary ones       Now my mother stood beside him    She did what she could do    But if you look at some old photograph   She looks tired too    I hope there was some laughter    'Cause I know there were some tears   Now all I can say is I pray to God    That after all those years    After all those years    That one day       One day    There's love for the lonely    One day    They walk in the sun    One day    Rest for the weary    Rest for the weary ones       Now I'm just another traveller    On another winding road    I'm trying to walk some kind of line   I'm trying to pull some kind of load    Now sometimes I move real easy    Sometimes I can't catch my breath    Sometimes I see my father's footsteps   And man it scares me half to death    But one day       One day    There's love for the lonely    One day    We walk in the sun    One day    Rest for the weary    Rest for the weary ones
