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!
