We must never forget the soldiers we lost,
Our freedom has come at a very high cost.
From Valley Forge until today,
The ultimate price they had to pay.
They gave up their life for you and me,
So, we can live in this ‘land of the free.’

Mom sang a lot of songs, these days they mean so much
Deep are these memories, in my heart they touch
Even though the song, was popular before I came to be
The songs she sang then, mean the world to me
Her Mom taught piano lessons, and played in a band
The love for music in our family, is easy to understand
One cousin I had talked with, said she was taught to play
By my Grandmother, although this Cousin passed away
Mom loved to sing, and she'd sing every day
She loved my music, when the turntable would play
She had her favorite songs, of the records that I had
To see her smile as they played, always made me glad
I'd like to think the music, is something to hold dear
When things bring you down, it brings endless cheer
I play all the songs, that Mom used to sing
Knowing those special memories, that each one will bring

He has your eyes
She has your hair
You did it well
Beyond compare
I see it now
Just like a dream
We once knew how
It was a precious thing
I know there is so much to learn
So many reasons to cry
I’m dying inside
Why did you tell them to tell me not to call
It was almost a kiss
Did it mean anything at all
Why couldn’t you tell me it was too much at once
What had become of you
Now I’m learning to see
Belson, look what became of me

When you have what you need, but you want more,
Is that not why Adam and Eve left the Garden for?
It is o.k. to improve yourself and by working hard,
But it can all be lost, by being dealt the wrong card.
But, when you love Jesus Christ with a true heart,
He will stay by your side, and you’ll never be apart.
If you can do a good day’s work for a good day's pay.
And a few loved ones are all you need for a good day.
Here is one more thing you may need to do.
That would be a good dog to love and love you.

People are too picky, with the names
I think too much, is mind games
Not Pepe Le Pew, it's just for fun
I'm disappointed, and it's no pun
Too much has been taken away
Too many people have gone astray
Enough already, don't ban no more
There'll be nothing left to explore
Once they start, they will not quit
I think their brains are where they sit
Once an Eskymo, I'll always be
I take no offense, with what I see
A cockamanie business, this offensive crap
To take these characters off the map
My name is Bud, and don't you say
That I am Rose or Pot, and I'll be okay
