George Bailey

Born older With a sacrificial grace Wisdom marks the features written on his face Broad shoulders With two left feet to dance But he would dance this whole wide world if he were given the chance He sees the need, buries greed And lets the people know Open hearts and playing your part is how love can grow Sailing, on an ocean of monotony But he says that that's alright with me Driving, the vision of what life could be If he saw what steady love could mean Oh, no whistle blow or anchor chains Could ever see the world like standing in place Tender hearted, with a love that often fights But when he holds her, she's the light of his life Where he started he kept on keeping score But with a grateful heart he owns so much more No business calls where mighty fall He loves the ones at home Cuz in the end with God and friends you'll Never be alone Sailing, on an ocean of monotony But he says that that's alright with me Driving, the vision of what life could be If we saw what steady love could mean You can shake off the dust, not leave a trace But you'll never see the world like standing in place Winter's cold and this world seems much colder But Christmas lights what I believe The warmth of home and laughter Bring happy ever after In this life that's wonderful Staying, fancy free dancing like fools And falling into swimming pools Praying, oh I wanna live again I'm made for places that I've been When the bells they ring You've run your race You'll know you've seen the world by Standing in place
