Memories Down the Line

First we should call a truce This time Forgetting all we left behind Stow everything we know Along Through your father’s eyes Your mother’s smile Send these memories down the line For future generations Send these memories down the line And let them know we tried Lessons locked inside for them to find Send these memories down the line They gave all they tried to save From themselves With remedies from history Pride, all the things they tried That never worked Experiences hold the key Send these memories down the line Our trials and tribulations Send these memories down the line And let them know we tried Lessons locked inside for them to find Send these memories down the line Send these memories down the line For future generations Send these memories down the line Lessons locked inside Give them a fighting chance To know that we tried Send these memories down the line
