Lyrics

THOSE WORDS
l.foster & r.martin


LOOKIN DOWN THE ROAD WHERE I USED TO RUN
THROUGH THE DUSTY FIELDS WHERE THE WORK WAS DONE
I CAN SEE HIM THERE DADDY WORKIN ON THE PLOW
WE MADE IT THROUGH SOMEHOW

WHEN MAMA TUCKED US IN EACH AND EVERY NIGHT
THE BOOK SHE READ BECAME OUR GUIDING LIGHT
I CAN STILL RECALL THE WORDS THE GOOD BOOK SAID
THEY?RE RINGIN IN MY HEAD

THOSE WORDS, GAVE US HOPE AND TAUGHT LOVE AND DIGNITY
THEY WERE ALL THE WORDS THAT WE WOULD EVER NEED
AND I BELIEVED IN THOSE WORDS

NOW IT?S UP TO ME TO TEACH MY KIDS TO LOVE
PRAY FOR PEACE ON EARTH, HAVE FAITH IN GOD ABOVE
I CAN STILL RECALL WHAT MAMA USED TO SAY
MADE ME WHAT I AM TODAY
