Lyrics
From the footprints in the sand as I followed behind
I saw one of his strides would take three of mine
My Grandfather's wisdom was as deep as the sea
And like a message in a bottle it comes back to me
He'd pick up a stone that looked dirty and old
And hold it in his hand like a nugget of gold
'cause he knew with a little tumble and spin
It would shine with the colours hidden within
Through the heartaches I've had on this bumpy trail
Through the doubts and the worries the fear that I'd fail
He'd say to me "if you wanna stay true
Look inside for the message the message in you"
In the dark night of the soul he could still make me smile
Over twenty five years and two thousand miles
Well I was so glad when his letter got through
'cause in a time of decision I knew what to do
Through the heartaches I've had on this bumpy trail
Through the doubts and the worries the fear that I'd fail
He'd say to me "if you wanna stay true
Look inside for the message the message in you"
Now I'm standing at your grave I realise you're on your way
But I can read your epitaph I can hear every word you'd say
I hear the words every day
Through the heartaches I've had on this bumpy trail
Through the doubts and the worries the fear that I'd fail
I remember your words "if you wanna stay true
Look inside for the message the message in you"
