The Dash Lyrics

Born to the world you take your first breathe

Mom holds you tight and she takes care of the rest

Time and through love you take your first steps

To growing up now you do you're best

There's just a dash between dates on a stone

That's all you got you best make it your own

Life's not the day you were born or you leave

It's all just the dash in between

Weeks turned to years and there's a mom on her own

She struggles to breathe raising kids all alone

Persistent is proof that life will move on

The struggles will ease if you weather that storm

Time and time you'll push that line

Until you measure up

Line after line you might find your self before you go

Years into life and you fall into yourself

You don't know your name or the folks that you have helped

But the lives that you changed you're engrained in their soul

And You live on forever with all the love that you've sowed

There's just a dash between dates on a stone

That's all you got you best make it your own

Life's not the day you were born or you leave

It's all just the dash in between

Life's not the day you were born or you leave
