I once knew a man
A man who lived forever
Though happy he always seemed, with a smile apon his face
The smile could disappear, and go without a trace
His eyes were always heavy, with all he's ever seen
And told many stories about all the places he's been
When happy he was, he always seem to glow
He brightens the room, wherever he may go
Through all his stumbles, he stood straight and tall
As if all his problems meant nothing at all
And every day he'd visit the lake
With a look on his face as though he may break
And every day, the habit wouldn't bend
And when I asked why, he said it was for a friend
He stays there waiting, he said
Waiting for the King
So stay waiting he will,
'Till Death takes him in.
