THE MEMORIES WE KEEP




A man's heart is filled with memories
Memories we don’t want to sacrifice
Thoughts that are part of life we want to keep forever
The beauty of time spent with a love one having dinner
The love shared with someone without hope and in need
The pictures of the time spent growing up on the field
The sacrifices a mother made for a child
The love of a father working so hard every day for families to feed

Sometimes when the night stays a little bit longer
It is these memories that give us hope that tomorrow will be better
Our hearts might have been broken not once
We are made strong because we have someone out there we can trust
The choices and decisions we made out of life make us stronger
We risk our joy by putting our fate in a complete stranger

The hard times when we thought we have no one to count on
Memories of the time we spent with friends, fought, break up and made up
This memory keeps life going each day
It’s what keeps us strong whenever we have a bad day
It's the string that lifts a man spirit high
A man is lost without memories to remember him by
It's what reminds us of our birthright
And the director that guides our future
