[Verse 1]
My father was a working man
But his work was never done
He stood behind a counter
And he smiled at everyone
He bought himself a business (Oh yeah)
Worked seven days a week
Took a holiday for Christmas
But he fell asleep beside the tree
One day now

[Chorus]
One day
There's love for the lonely
One day
They walk in the sun
One day
Rest for the weary
Rest for the weary ones

[Verse 2]
Now my mother stood beside him
She did what she could do
But if you look at some old photographs
She looks tired too
I hope there was some laughter
'Cause I know there were some tears (Whoa)
Now all I can say is I pray to God
After all those years
After all those years
That one day now
[Chorus]
One day
There's love for the lonely
One day
They walk in the sun
One day
Rest for the weary
Rest for the weary ones
(Whoa, whoa, yeah)
(Whoa, whoa, yeah)
(Whoa, whoa, yeah)

[Verse 3]
Now I'm just another traveler
On another winding road
Trying to walk some kind of line
I'm trying to pull some kind of load (Whoa yeah)
Now sometimes I move real easy
Sometimes I can't catch my breath
Sometimes I see my father's footsteps
And man it scares me half to death
'Cause one day

[Chorus]
One day
There's love for the lonely
One day
We walk in the sun
One day
Rest for the weary
Rest for the weary ones
(So whoa, whoa, yeah)
(Whoa, yeah)
(So whoa, whoa, yeah)
Rest for the weary ones
[Outro]
Rest for the weary
Rest for the weary ones
Rest for the weary ones
