Honor Them All (Live at the Blue Note Club) - Janis Ian[00:00:00]
Written by:Janis Ian[00:00:02]
They say that you can choose your friends[00:00:23]
But you can't choose your family[00:00:26]
And it's a lucky man who ends up in good company[00:00:32]
I've done my share of looking back[00:00:39]
Regret's my middle name[00:00:43]
But the time goes by so fast[00:00:47]
You turn around tomorrow's passed[00:00:51]
And the ones you love will never be the same[00:00:56]
So why don't you honor your father[00:01:04]
Honor your mother[00:01:07]
Honor yourself above all[00:01:09]
Honor the gifts[00:01:14]
You bring one another[00:01:15]
Each time you rise or you fall[00:01:18]
Honor them all[00:01:21]
There's not a family on this earth[00:01:26]
Doesn't sling a little mud[00:01:30]
Hands get weary hearts get hurt[00:01:35]
We bow to the flesh and blood[00:01:38]
Oh people can be cruel sometimes[00:01:42]
It leaves a lasting scar[00:01:47]
When you put it to the test[00:01:51]
You usually find they've done their best[00:01:55]
And as bad as that may be[00:01:59]
It's turned you into who you are[00:02:02]
So why don't you honor your mother[00:02:07]
Honor your father[00:02:10]
Honor yourself above all[00:02:12]
Honor the gifts[00:02:16]
You bring one another[00:02:18]
Each time you rise or you fall[00:02:20]
Honor them all[00:02:24]
When I have three nephews all my children[00:02:28]
And my memories[00:02:33]
If there's one thing I would ask[00:02:37]
It's that they keep alive the past[00:02:41]
So tomorrow doesn't have to end with me[00:02:45]
I want them to honor their mother[00:02:53]
Honor their father[00:02:56]
Honor themselves above all[00:02:58]
Honor the gifts[00:03:02]
They bring one another[00:03:04]
Each time they rise or they fall[00:03:07]
Honor them all[00:03:10]
Honor them all[00:03:14]
