Never Forget the Face of Our Fathers
As we grow up and learn about the world
Our fathers are there to guide us on our way
We learn and grow and learn and grow
We learn the marks we get and the punishments were earned
We learn we earn the right to go on and grow up
Never forget the face of our Fathers
As we grow up there are guides along the way
Our father teach us how to treat others with respect
We learn to treat others well
We learn and figure out the way the world works
We learn to treat others the way we want to be treated
Never forget the face of our Fathers
As we grow and learn some people never play fair
Our fathers taught us to be kind
We learn others never think that way
We learn that fairness is there only if you take it
We learn that the world goes on even without us
Never forget the face of our Fathers
As we grow in our later years we must learn how to be
Our fathers are not there to guide us
We learn as we trip and fall we are on our own
We learn as the days go by the loneliness still abides
We learn from our mistakes and try to go on
Never forget the face of our Fathers
As we grow we learn to forgive
Our fathers taught us it is the best way to live
We learn the world is not as it seems
We learn we need to ask for forgiveness too
We learn that sometimes we hurt the ones we love
Never forget the face of our Fathers
As we grow we ask for forgiveness and patience
Our fathers taught us it is the right way to be
We learn to bow down when we are wrong
We learn in order to be forgiven we must forgive
We learn that you can never say I Love You enough
Never forget the face of our Fathers
As we grow we loose the ones we Love
Our father taught us it is something that always comes
We learn to let them go and to be free
We learn if they Love us it will be
We learn sometimes it is best to let go of those you Love
Never forget the face of our Fathers
As we grow life moves on
Our fathers taught us we move on too
We learn life is too short
We learn nothing is worth being angry over
We learn there is more
Never forget the faces of our Fathers
As we grow we loose our fathers
Our fathers taught us we must take their place
We learn even when it is hard we must be a father
We learn there are others who need to be taught
We learn to remember because we should
Never forget the face of our Fathers
