Lyrics

I was walking home one day
Looking at the world through the wind and the rain
Saw a dog was shivering
Held by a man on a cobblestone way
Passing by he smiled at me
Yet in his eyes there was misery
We are all the same
Time just slips away
Every day we'd have a talk
Told me where he'd been and the folks he had known
Raised on a family farm
By people who believed in God
Said he met a girl in school
Before he went to war, got married in June
We are all the same
Time just slips away
Letter came it told of tragedy
The clouds of pain, rained down heavily
A sad goodbye before her silent grave
That day he changed
He walked away
Now that I've seen the world
Got a wife with a smile and a cute little girl
I went to the place where we talked
They told me he had passed away
They laid him to rest in the shade
Family farm by her grave
We are all the same
Time just slips away
But his smile just stays the same
