Idle hands can be, the devil's plaything,
You kept yourself busy and you've grown
Accustomed to those things, you would be greeting,
Sacrifices turned to mean something.
And on that bed you laid, i'll be waiting,
Cause memories will soon turn blurred and creased.
We will look up
Now and, always,
When we're in need
Now that there's only peace
We will look up
Now and always^
There is more fight
In you than you'll ever know
Once you said, remember that,
The higher you sit, the longer the shadow you cast,
And i will not forget, i won't forget.
Even a tree a thousand feet tall,
Will sooner or later, have to
Watch its leaves fall,
But take a closer look,
And you'll see how those leaves just got back to their roots,
We're afraid to burn too soon, not to live up to the legacy,
To the things that you gave up not to give up on your family
Now take your time to rest.
For i learned the lesson,
It's spelled humbleness,
I'm glad learned it in person.
I will carry your last words for anyone to see em,
They were "this is it", so let it be it.
If you'll ever need to rest inside a forest
Remember that the boughs that bear the most
Are the one to hang the lowest
Once you said, remember that,
The higher you sit, the longer's the shadow you cast,
I will not forget, i won't forget.
And i'll, recall the pride in your eyes,
And just wonder what you'd say when in need of advice,
Cause before i go wrong once, i'd rather ask twice,
Since in life you get nothing in return when you're asked to pay the price.
