Lyrics
One Handwritten Page
He was a working man, had a poet?s soul
And if he had big dreams, he never let them show
He traded in his years, for a workman?s wage
When he passed away. All he left behind for us was one handwritten page
He said you?re welcome to what money that I?ve earned
All I have of value are the lessons that I?ve learned
It?s the simple things, that help a life along
And so he wrote them down, and it was one page long
It said Kindness is a gift to give to strangers
Lonely is just something we all learn
Nothing that you do is ever wasted
Trust is always something that you earn
And Love alone is life?s richest return
He was a working man, he never sought out fame
He walked a narrow road, he never did complain
To keep an honest heart, that was the prayer he prayed
He lived a simple life, all he left behind for us was one handwritten page
It said fortune?s more than money or fine cars
Laughter is the medicine that heals the deepest scars
It?s the simple things, that help a life along
And so he wrote them down, and it was one page long
It said Kindness is a gift to give to strangers
Lonely is just something that we learn
Nothing that you do is ever wasted
Trust is always something that you earn
And Love alone is life?s richest return
There once was a poet who said this whole world?s a play
all of us are actors on a stage
Guess its time to play my part and finally learn my lines
They?re all on that one handwritten page
It says Kindness is a gift to give to strangers
Lonely is just something we all learn
Nothing that you do is ever wasted
Trust is always something that you earn
And Love alone is life?s richest return
Love alone is Life?s richest return.
