OLD SONGS

Patrick Foster

I’ve got sisters I’ve got brothers, and we’re tryin to get along,

Singing our own parts, and joining in the same old song,

And the old ones are the best ones if the harmonies are true,

And you’re singin it with me, and I’m singing it with you.

And you’re singin it with me, and I’m singing it with you.

I know it’s a strange place to live,

I know it’s a strange place to live,

When you’re living in a world of sin,

And fighting battles you can’t always win,

When you’re living in a world of sin,

there’s no choice but to forgive,

If my arms over your shoulder, and you’re bearing up my weight,

I’m sorry for my weakness, and I’m sorry for my state,

But when I find my strength, and a brothers struggle burns,

I want to take my time, to help hold them up in turn,

If I’m living life untrue, will you help me find my feet,

I’m an age where things are shifting, we can fall so out of sync,

Will you hold me will you find me, when I’m lost out in the woods,

We can make our footsteps steady, and keep them pacing toward the good,

We can make our footsteps steady, and keep them pacing toward the good,

I know it’s a strange place to live,

I know it’s a strange place to live,

When you’re living in a world of sin,

And fighting battles you can’t always win,

When you’re living in a world of sin,

there’s no choice but to forgive,

Can we testify,

And edify,

Side by side,

Keep it from fading,

Yes testify,

And edify,

In the dead of night,

thinking of the dawn,

Yes reach for light,

In the dead of night,

Yes reach for light,

And keep thinking of the dawn.
