Pass It On lyrics

With a bunch of strangers who worship my name

I gathered at the gravesite in the pouring rain

Never thought I'd find myself back here again

Yet, here I am standing in the lake

Got a lotta pieces missing in my past

Never really noticed time was moving so fast

So many questions that I wanted to ask

But I'll let all my chances slip past

They slip past

Pass it on, pass it on

Teach them the words of your song

Voices fall silent but memories live on

Those we remember are never gone

Never gone

A wooden bar to drink it, a new draw by the bed

A dusty sheaf of letters from people now dead

A lock of golden hair cut from a baby's head

And so many things left unsaid

Neither sentimental or deeply profound

All the things we've hidden will one day be found

The riches of a family cannot be weighed in pounds

But in the stories can hand down

Hand 'em down

Pass it on, pass it on

Teach them the words of your song

Voices fall silent but memories live on

Those we remember are never gone

Pass it on, pass it on

Teach them the words of your song

Voices fall silent but memories live on

Those we remember are never gone
