Honor Them All (Live)

[Verse 1]
They say that you can choose your friends
But you can't choose your family
And it's a lucky man who ends up in good company
Well I've done my share of looking back
Regret's my middle name
But the time goes by so fast
You turn around, tomorrow's passed
And the ones you love will never be the same

[Chorus]
So why don't you honor your father
Honor your mother
Honor yourself above all?
Honor the gifts
You bring one another
Each time you rise or you fall
Honor them all

[Verse 2]
There's not a family on this earth
Doesn't sling a little mud
Hearts get wеary, hearts get hurt
We bow to thе flesh and blood
Oh, people can be cruel sometimes
It leaves a lasting scar
But when you put it to the test
You usually find they've done their best
And as bad as that may be
It's turned you into who you are

[Chorus]
So why don't you honor your mother
Honor your father
Honor yourselves above all?
Honor the gifts
You bring one another
Each time you rise or you fall
Honor them all

[Bridge]
Well I have three nephews, all my children
In my memories
If there's one thing I would ask
It's that they keep alive the past
So tomorrow doesn't have to end with me

[Chorus]
I want them to honor their mother
Honor their father
Honor themselves above all
Honor the gifts
They bring one another
Each time they rise or they fall
Honor them all
Honor them all
