I'm sitting here I'm thinking back to a time when I was young,
My memory is clear as day,
I'm listening to the dishes clink,
You were downstairs you would sing,
Songs of praise,
And all the times we laughed with you,
And all the times that you stayed true to us,
Now we say,
I said I thank you,
I'll always thank you,
More than you could know,
Than I could show,
And I love you,
I'll always love you,
Theres nothing I wont do to say these words to you,
That you're beautiful forever.
You were my mom you were my dad,
The only thing I ever had was you its true,
And even when the times got hard you were there to let,
Us know that we'd get through,
You showed me how to be a man,
You taught me how to understand the things people do,
You showed me how to love my god,
You taught me that not everyone knows the truth.
And I thank you,
I'll always thank you,
More than you could know,
Than I could show,
And I love you,
I'll always love you,
Theres nothing I wont do to say these words to you,
That you will live forever,
Always.I can't believe the things I've seen
I wonder bout some things I've heard
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word
A bad enough situation
Is sure enough getting worse
Everybody's crying justice
Just as long as there's business first
Toe to toe
Touch and go
Give a cheer
Get your souvenier
People running round in circles
Don't know what they're headed for
Everybody's crying peace on Earth
Just as soon as we win this war
Straight ahead
Knock em dead
Pack your kid
Choose your hypocrite
Well you don't have to go to off broadway
To see something played absurd
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word
Nobody knows the meaning of the word
When they don't know the meaning of the word
Nobody knows the meaning of the word
Nobody knows the meaning of the word
