Episode Synopsis

This song is about practice....to be better.... Lyrics: On an early spring day cold and rainy outside  A young man stopped in the café for a place to hide  a happy place in an average small town  serving local elders who have been around    Kate the working owner gave him a welcome smile  nodded to a booth where he could sit for a while  He stared at the menu, so hard to make a choice  Then he heard an old man talk in a famous voice   In back was the source who wore a plain western hat   with coffee and a puzzle in the booth where he sat  Across from him was an old worn guitar case  with stickers and labels from all over the place   He walked back to the old man to sit next to the guitar To ask a thousand questions about how he got that far  The man looked up and being used to the approach  Waved to say ok and shook hands without reproach    The eager learner didn't wait and got to the point so surprised to see this man In this small town joint. Are you the someone that we all used to know He said i used to be that man but now it's not so   The learner leaned in close and whispered, don't you see.. Where you were and what you've done is where i want to be Please tell me your secret so I can chase success I dream to be just like you and better than the rest.   Better is possible Do more of what you do.  The world may not see it You'll know it's true  Better is possible  Do more of what you do The more you trust it The world will come to y   The old man stretched and pushed his hat back on his head  and smiled to think of how long it had really been. and how much he missed it and how much joy he had. tried to hide that it was gone  he was really sad.   The learner looked so young and not worn down yet he probably could make it that's a likely bet he smiled then repeated what was in his head the only words that mattered when he said.
