Well, I plan on being here for a long time
Watching you grow up and watching you fly away
I plan on crying at your wedding
And saying goodbye to my little boys
And hello, nice to meet you
To the men you'll someday be
Growing old with you mother
And hold her hand all the way
And falling in love with her every single day
And should I die before you wake
There's something I would want to say
Love life with all your might
Love peace but be willing to fight
Love beauty and train your sight
And nurture your appetite
For beauty, goodness and truth
Be strong and be brave
Believe and be saved
For there is a God
Be men of faith and courage
A little crazy, a little bold
And seek to find your mission
Fear God and fear not men
And believe me when I tell you
Oh, I wish you only joy
And if you wish to find your life
You must give it away
And when you die, you will wake
In the arms of the One
You pray your soul to take
Love life with all your might
Love peace but be willing to fight
Love beauty and train your sight
Nurture your appetite
For beauty, goodness and truth
Be strong and be brave
Believe and be saved
For there is a God
Love life with all your might
Love peace but be willing to fight
Love beauty and train your sight
Nurture your appetite
For beauty, goodness and truth
Be strong and be brave
Believe and be saved
Love life with all your might
Love peace but be willing to fight
Love beauty and train your sight
And nurture your appetite
For beauty, goodness and truth
Be strong and be brave
Believe and be saved
For there is a God
Well, I plan on being here for a long time
