Don't judge a book by it's leaf You know a * that's once been said I'm not the kind who's ease the aggrieve By the things that i have read For my mother she once told me You know you've gotta live your dreams And i'll keep her words inside me for all eternity it seems I fought the pain some how I guess when others would surely drown Well i'm not that kind of men who lets his guard fall down
For my father he once told me don't let them bring you down And i've kept his words inside of me I felt the pain within my heart Still hold the memory deep inside And i see it in a dream When i close my eyes at night Now the greatest gift of this life Memories that i'm alive I'll pray i never stop hearing the voice inside
