Lyrics
a slight wink in my day
one breath of light
a firefly passing through the night’s fog
and I’ll never forget what he said
Be true to your soul, to your heart
Be true to your soul, to you heart
if you ever wanna get anywhere from here
tattered shirtsleeves, a cigarette stub at hand
shunned by society, always looking for a place to stand
he rarely speaks to strangers, but he spoke one day
and I won’t forget what he said
Be true to your soul, to your heart
Be true to your soul, to you heart
if you ever wanna get anywhere from here
as quiet as the moon, he’s watching the world as it all unfolds,
and always hoping for a better day, to make it right
I won’t forget what he said
Be true to your soul, to your heart
Be true to your soul, to you heart
if you ever wanna get anywhere from here
