With a bunch of strangers who all share my name Gathered at the graveside in the pouring rain Never thought I'd find myself back here again Yet, here I am standing in the lane 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 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 remеmber are nevеr gone Never gone A wooden box of trinkets in the drawer 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 Be they 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 that they 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 Never gone

Is it getting better Or do you feel the same? Will it make it easier on you now You got someone to blame You say... One love One life When it's one need In the night One love We get to share it Leaves you baby if you Don't care for it One... Did I disappoint you Or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love And you want me to go without Well it's... Too late Tonight To drag the past out into the light We're one, but we're not the same We get to Carry each other Carry each other One... Have you come here for forgiveness? Have you come to raise the dead? Yet you come here to play Jesus To the lepers in your head Did I ask too much More than a lot? You gave me nothing Now it's all I got We're one But we're not the same We got to Hurt each other Then we do it again You say Love is a temple Love a higher law Love is a temple Love the higher law You ask me to enter But then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on To what you got When all you got is hurt One love One blood One life You got to do what you should One life With each other Sisters And brothers One life But we're not the same We get to Carry each other Carry each other One One

Fat man lookin' in a blade of steel Thin man lookin' at his last meal Hollow man lookin' at a cottonfield For dignity Wise man lookin' at a blade of grass Young man lookin' in the shadows that pass Poor man lookin' through painted glass For dignity Somebody got murdered on New Year's Eve Someone said dignity was the first to leave I went into the city, I went into the town Went to the land of the midnight sun Searchin' high, searchin' low Searchin' everywhere I know Askin' the cops wherever I go Have you seen dignity? Blind man breakin' out of a trance Puts both his hands in the pockets of chance Hopin' to find one circumstance Of dignity I went to the wedding of Mary-Lou She said, "I don't want nobody see me talkin' to you" Said she could be killed, if she told me what she knew About dignity Footprints runnin' cross the silver sand Steps fallin' down into tattoo land I met the sons of darkness and the sons of light In the bordertowns of despair So many roads, so much at stake Too many dead ends, I'm at the edge of the lake Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take To find dignity

Lazy stadium night Catfish on the mound Strike three,' the umpire said Better have to go back and sit down.

Even Billy Martin grins When the Fish is in the game Every season twenty wins Gonna make the Hall of Fame Catfish, million-dollar-man Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can
