Born of the north wind and the freezing rains   Laying all his chances on some seeds of grain   He struggled and raised a family   Didn't talk about the war   Worked day and night to feed them   Could he love them more?      He's just a fortune traveler   And searching for a home   I do hope you find it   A place to call your own   Man of all patience and a heart of gold   In my eyes dad you'll never grow old      No one know what makes a man   Break down and cry   To call him a weaker man   Is just another lie   Following a shining star   May never get you through   But listen to the dreams of your heart   And the words of truth      He's just a fortune traveler   And searching for a home   I do hope you find it   A place to call your own   Man of all patience and a heart of gold   In my eyes dad you'll never grow old      Can you draw me a picture?   I'll keep it forever   Will you tell me a story?   I'll always remember   Can I lay down beside you   Like we did before?   And talk about when you were a boy   Please tell me some more      He's just a fortune traveler   And searching for a home   I do hope you find it   A place to call your own   Man of all patience and a heart of gold   In my eyes dad you'll never grow old
