Lessons Lyrics

He sits in a chair with a grin on his face

And a blanket laid across his lap

Never had time for small talk it seems

As the TV would hum in the back

So I'd quietly sit to be close to him

To hear any knowledge he'd give

Please listen to me

My grandson he'd say

There are many ways for men to live

So I remember the lessons you taught me

And how to choose right from wrong

Things are just things and money gets spent

But what matters is family and friends

Take care of the ones that care for you

Those are the bonds that survive

Take not for granted the talents you have

Because that's when you're truly alive

As memories fade

I can still hear your voice

Always have faith and never give up

Cause life will not wait

So please listen up

Live life get you fill

And drink it all up

Cause I'll always love you I'm your biggest fan

The impact you make may seem small but it's grand

What you leave behind will depend on your stand

Just promise me son do the best that you can

To be a good man

Protect the unprotected

Speak for the ones with no voice

Always stand tall and always take pride

And never let fear be your guide

Turn your failures to wisdom

Allow your actions to serve as your voice

Because strength is told in the quiet my son

It's the weak who will make the most noise

As memories fade

I can still hear your voice.

Always have faith and never give up

Cause life will not wait

So please listen up

Live life get you fill

And drink it all up

Cause I'll always love you I'm your biggest fan

The impact you make may seem small but it's grand

What you leave behind will depend on your stand

Just promise me son

Do the best that you can

To be a good man

Now that you're gone and the seasons pass by

I pray that you have pride in me

When you look down I hope that you see I've become

I've become the man you hoped I'd be

I've become the man you hoped I'd be
