I lay right there once
|
On the edge of the rock
|
I was ready to jump
|
I was ever so lost
|
But this gentlemen stopped
|
And said something I never forgot
|
|
For billions of years
|
Since the outset of time
|
Every single one of your ancestors survived
|
Every single person on your mums and dad's side
|
Successfully looked after and passed onto you life
|
What are the chances of that like
|
It comes to me once in a while
|
And everywhere i tell folk
|
It gets the best smile
|
|
And then the old man walked away
|
And out of sight
|
Till the sound of him hiking
|
Turned to the sound of silence
|
I juss froze in a profound surprise
|
And from down on my pride
|
I found a smile to my eyes
|
And for many days again
|
I would be passing the same cliff
|
And on many occasions
|
I would chance on the same thing
|
Laying in the moss
|
In the same way I was
|
Would be another man
|
Looking like he needed a change of luck
|
So I'd say I lay right there once
|
On the edge of the rock
|
I was ready to jump
|
I was ever so lost
|
But this gentlemen stopped
|
And said something I never forgot
|
|
For billions of years
|
Since the outset of time
|
Every single one of your ancestors survived
|
Every single person on your mums and dad's side
|
Successfully looked after and passed onto you life
|
What are the chances of that like
|
It comes to me once in a while
|
And every where i tell folk
|
It gets the best smile
|
|
For billions of years
|
Since the outset of time
|
Every single one of your ancestors survived
|
Every single person on your mums and dad's side
|
Successfully looked after and passed onto you life
|
What are the chances of that like
|
It comes to me once in a while
|
And everywhere i tell folk
|
It gets the best smile
