In the days of summer 1944 With just a preacher and a witness and a band of gold They set out to find the future, not a penny to name Still with all the unknown danger, she her heart was safe
he was a rock, he was the one that she ran to And when he the words forever She that it was true, he wasn't a saint But he was saint enough for her, he was a man, a man of his
In the final of summer 1964 He a family undivided, divided on the war Turning son against his elder, wrong and right He was the image of his father, though they not see eye to eye
he was a rock, he was the one the boy ran to 'Cause when he the words, 'I love you' He that it was true, and even in the worst of storms There was an anchor in his world, he was a man, a man of his
Clutching a strong in the bible Through all the sweetness in his And the of war He knew God had made him for
In the final of summer 1944 by his family and the presence of the Lord He set out to find his future, the one he'd always He didn't want to leave his family, but he deep in his soul (Lord had him home)
he was the rock, he was the one the man ran to And when he the words forever He knew that it was true, he wasn't a He is the one the bow to, receiving a man, a man of his word
He is the one I run to, 'cause when he says the word, forever I know his is true, he isn't a saint He is the one the bow to Come to the man, the man of his
