[00:09.89]Barely asleep when I got the call
[00:15.13]Drove through the night till I made it home
[00:20.81]And in his last few breaths I heard
[00:26.46]Eighty-one years of wisdom learned
[00:32.63]Born in the south when the country was down
[00:37.92]Somehow found work when no work could be found
[00:43.84]Drafted to war.Eighteen so young
[00:49.27]But when it was through his fight had just begun
[00:58.81]And he said
[00:59.88]You can't find truth without the hurt
[01:05.68]You won't know peace without a fight
[01:11.35]It always matters how you live your life
[01:18.85]And only time will tell
[01:23.78]All of the things you do right now
[01:29.26]The love that you found
[01:32.29]Will be passed down to everyone
[01:39.52]Someday you'll be a story to someone
[01:44.34]
[01:47.01]He found his wife
[01:49.77]And she helped him heal
[01:52.52]He was her sword and she was his shield
[01:59.23]Tried to make sure the family
[02:03.52]Could always endure the pain that life could bring
[02:13.07]And he said
[02:14.40]Don't ever think that you've got time
[02:20.11]'Cause you can't stop the passing years
[02:25.62]So don't ever lose yourself inside your fears
[02:30.93]'Cause only time will tell
[02:38.96]All of the things you do right now
[02:42.59]The love that you found
[02:46.90]Will be passed down to everyone
[02:53.77]Someday you'll be a story to someone
[02:57.70]One day I'll have a child of my own
[03:02.45]And I'll share the light that I've been shown
[03:08.09]And say those word that I was told long ago
[03:18.94]'Cause only time will tell
[03:23.96]All of the things you do right now
[03:29.63]The love that you found
[03:32.38]Will be passed down to everyone
[03:39.47]Someday you'll be a story to someone
[03:52.38]The love that you found
[03:55.44]Will be passed down to everyone
[04:02.17]Someday you'll be a story to someone
[04:10.38]
