Lyrics

Glorious

Words & Music by Dave Nachmanoff


Have you seen a newborn baby?
The wonder in her eyes
Every sight and sound’s astounding
Every moment’s a surprise
Mother’s smiling at her laughter
Father’s babbling like a child
Now they’re cast into a new world
By the glory of her smile

Chorus:

We were glorious once, and we’re glorious still
If we take the time to look, we can see that glory well

See that old man on the corner
Rags wrapped around his feet
A shopping cart to hold his life in
He’s out begging on the street
But turn the clock back sixty years now
Who’s that handsome little boy
Laughing and playing with his sister
His mother’s pride and joy

CHORUS

And when we reach out to each other
Or let a smile come shining through
Just for a moment feel the glory
No matter what else we’ve been through

CHORUS
