"One For The Road" lyrics

"One For The Road"
(from "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry" soundtrack)

We're all travelling
On different roads
Some climb mountains high
Some walk very slow
Some are weary to their bones
And tired of walking
Some are scared of being alone
But afraid of talking
Some are miles away from their homes
And others never get so far
But whoever you are

Here's one for the road
Be it straight or winding
When the storm comes rolling
Or the sun is shining
For the broken promises
And the silver linings
If you're light on your feet
Or you have a heavy load
Here's one for the road

Yeah, we're silver pennies
In a wishing well
We've all got songs to sing
And stories we can tell

But when we sing the same song
The sky gets brighter
And if we all dance along
Then the load gets lighter

For together we're strong
Stronger than the cards life deals
But however you feel

Here's one for the road
Be it wide or narrow
If you're chasing the sun
Or hiding in the shadows
If you're a sinking stone
Or a flying arrow
If you're lost in your heart
Don't forget your code
Here's one for the road

Well, here's one for the road
Be it straight or winding
When the storm comes rolling
Or the sun is shining
Or the sun is shining

For the broken promises
And the silver lining
If you're light on your feet
Or you have a heavy load
Well, here's one for the road

For the fireside stories
For the grim defeats
For the golden glories
For the darkest days
For the sweetest sorrows
For yesterdays
And tomorrows
Here's one for the road
