Just a Man That Lived
There are songs to be sung, there are memories to be had
About a loving husband, a mentor and a dad
He’s still here with us in each moment that we’re awake
As we hear him right beside us with each step that we take
He shouts out “sing in the sunshine, dance out in the rain
Play hard like you mean it and laugh at your pain
Tell mama that you love her and show it in every way
Throw a biscuit to the dog and call it another day”
Yep, he sang all those songs, he lived them to the hilt
He left nothing on the field, in his heart had no guilt
So put a smile on your face, put a song in your heart
You can never finish the race if you never even start
One day down the road when the Savior comes to call
When all nations of the earth have taken that fatal fall
The savior will call out his name and he’ll rise from the grave
As that old flesh and blood will no longer make him a slave
Sing out those old songs, keep a heart full of glee
Never give up on life and be whatever you can be
Hold your family close to you and leave a legacy to behold
Walk a mile in his shoes on the same ground that he strolled
