Honor Them All(Live at Blue Note Club Fukuoka Japan March 21 1997) (Live) - Janis Ian[00:00:00]
They say that you can choose your friends[00:00:18]
But you can't choose your family[00:00:21]
And it's a lucky man who ends up in good company[00:00:26]
I've done my share of looking back[00:00:34]
Regret's my middle name[00:00:38]
But the time goes by so fast[00:00:42]
You turn around tomorrow's passed[00:00:46]
And the ones you love will never be the same[00:00:51]
So why don't you honor your father[00:00:59]
Honor your mother[00:01:02]
Honor yourself above all[00:01:04]
Honor the gifts[00:01:08]
You bring one another[00:01:10]
Each time you rise or you fall[00:01:12]
Honor them all[00:01:16]
There's not a family on this earth[00:01:21]
Doesn't sling a little mud[00:01:24]
Hands get weary hearts get hurt[00:01:30]
We bow to the flesh and blood[00:01:33]
Oh people can be cruel sometimes[00:01:37]
It leaves a lasting scar[00:01:42]
But when you put it to the test[00:01:45]
You usually find they've done their best[00:01:50]
And as bad as that may be[00:01:54]
It's turned you into who you are[00:01:57]
So why don't you honor your mother[00:02:01]
Honor your father[00:02:04]
Honor yourself above all[00:02:07]
Honor the gifts[00:02:11]
You bring one another[00:02:13]
Each time you rise or you fall[00:02:15]
Honor them all[00:02:18]
When I have three nephews all my children[00:02:23]
And my memories[00:02:28]
If there's one thing I would ask[00:02:32]
It's that they keep alive the past[00:02:36]
So tomorrow doesn't have to end with me[00:02:40]
I want them to honor their mother[00:02:47]
Honor their father[00:02:51]
Honor themselves above all[00:02:53]
Honor the gifts[00:02:57]
They bring one another[00:02:59]
Each time they rise or they fall[00:03:01]
Honor them all[00:03:05]
Honor them all[00:03:09]
