Lyrics

Where Honor Is Due

(A Tribute to My mother, Irene Dixon)

Written by Anthony Dixon Copyright (c) March 2000

1st Verse:

Taught me to tie my shoes

Said there was nothing I couldn't do

And I believed cause you believed in me

You taught me how to know right from wrong

Gave me courage and made me strong

Gave me the fuel to make my dreams come true.

Change:

But I never can repay

No never can repay you for your selfless love

But I'll make a start by just...

Chorus:

Trying to give honor

Where honor is due

Cause it was you

That helped me make it thru

I'm just trying to give honor

Where honor is due

I love you so, I just want you to know

I'm just trying to give honor

Where honor is due

2nd Verse:

When I was sick, you would understand

There's no prescription like praying hands

"Please, heal my child" You'd say your prayer, then smile.

Always willing to give your last, From your direction I'd choose my path

Said follow your heart...life's compass in the dark

Change:

You see, I never can repay

No never can repay you for your selfless love

But I'm gonna try and I'll start by...

Bridge:

No other love

Can compare to the safety of a mother's hug

No other smile

Says child of mine your always welcome in my house

I'll always cherish you, care for you, but most importantly I'll honor you!
