Smoking On the Shoulders of Giants - The Lee's

This is for the ones who stayed up through the night This is for the ones who ain't give up the fight This is for the ones who stuck to their guns And they didn't budge because they knew they were in the right Thanks to all those who came before me For standing tall in the rain when it was storming You had to sacrifice through the nights to give us morning That's why I'm standing on the shoulders of Giants and thriving Thanks to all those who came before me For standing tall in the rain when it was storming You had to sacrifice through the nights to give us morning That's why I'm standing on the shoulders of Giants and thriving I'm wishing that A lot of things in my life start to go right I'm hoping that With the pain you went through we won't forget you I'm thinking that to take a step in your shoes is hard to do I'm praying that I can at least do decent through your teaching I'm wishing and hoping and thinking and praying That we remember our origins because y'all worked so hard Sacrificed for your kids Our heroes had to struggle and hustle so that we could live I'm only standing on your shoulders thank you for the lift I Gotta say Thank You So Thank You This is for the ones who stayed up through the night Thank You This is for the ones who ain't give up the fight Thank You This is for the ones who stuck to their guns And they didn't budge because they knew they were in the right Thank You Thanks to all those who came before me For standing tall in the rain when it was storming You had to sacrifice through the nights to give us morning It's why I'm standing on the shoulders of Giants and thriving Thanks to all those who came before me For standing tall in the rain when it was storming You had to sacrifice through the nights to give us morning It's why I'm standing on the shoulders of Giants and thriving The only reason I'm here Is you stood tall in the face of fear The only reason I'm here is cause your blood, your sweat, your tears Your pain, your gain, your strength, your strain You kept us dry, you weathered the rain Never heard you ever complain It's absurd, it hurts could I do the same? And this is why I honor you Sometimes I feel I've squandered life This is the honest truth I just wish I had your fight So I could see it through So thank you for the height Now I can see the view Its looking beautiful I Gotta say Thank You So Thank You This is for the ones who stayed up through the night Thank You This is for the ones who ain't give up the fight Thank You This is for the ones who stuck to their guns And they didn't budge because they knew they were in the right Thank You Thanks to all those who came before me For standing tall in the rain when it was storming You had to sacrifice through the nights to give us morning It's why I'm standing on the shoulders of Giants and thriving Thanks to all those who came before me For standing tall in the rain when it was storming You had to sacrifice through the nights to give us morning It's why I'm standing on the shoulders of Giants and thriving

I hold my head up just enough to see the sky And when we go we won't go slow we'll put up such a fight When they fade into the dust and into ash All children know this pain will surely pass Strong and wise and they are love When the tide it come they will float above and And you will be one day exactly what you are Just keep your head up high kiss your fist and touch the sky It's not too late to keep the world from dying It's not too late to spread the love you have One day when we are ready for crying One day I know we'll all be there The sound we hear it is our hearts they are in time They're poundig clear and swift the beat forever in our minds It gives us hope it gives the strenghth, you know, to carry on Keep fighting till the end and past the end we will be strong It's not too late to keep the world from dying It's not too late to spread the love and share One day I know we'll all be there Yes we will
