My Grandfather Lyrics - Scattered Reflections - Lior

When I was born my grandfather held me in his warm hands 

And it seems though his eyes are teary 

But it's hard to tell from an old photograph 

While my brother and sister danced at the feet of his tired and weathered frame 

He said there's a light to this boy I've rarely seen 

And there he gave me my name 

Well my grandfather was a sniper 

In the Red Army 

He never knew brothers in arms from on both side stood enemy 

Will the cold unbroken will to survive 

His steady hand took care 

And he drank just enough to keep himself warm 

For he never spoke his true name 

(Humming)

When I was a boy, the summers were out 

He would take me down to the sea 

And standing on the water edge 

And watch me go crazy 

As the gentle waves rolled in 

Lookin' back I wonder how he must have felt 

Watching me running so free 

All the years in his life he wished he could forget 

Did he look at the world through me? 

(Humming) 

When I was a man I flew across the Ocean 

When I heard he needed care 

I listened as he spoke of his turbulent life 

From his ordinary chair 

And he ended by saying 

"Oh, I've had enough 

The time has come for me to go 

I have only one wish 

That is left in me 

To be taken peacefully"

Just before I was due to marry 

I heard he could not walk anymore 

It was then he gave up fight 

I had said goodbye 

Almost one year before 

And I'll never forget something he told me 

"Yes it's a cruel world, but you must live without fear" 

Well I sure do miss my grandfather 

He's the reason why I'm here
