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 traveler 
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
