Remember Where You Came From

Your way was long and your road was rough You made it somehow though your life was tough Since you were not alone as a small beginner These important people you should remember Remember your family and your blessed birth Don't forget all their love and all they're worth Remember their support and their belief in you Don't forget their sacrifice that helped you through Remember willing friends' empathy Don't forget their comfort and their sympathy Remember their gifts and all their loans Don't forget they welcomed you into their homes Remember the Lord who should always be first Don't forget that He fed you and quenched your thirst Remember He sustained you and took you in Don't forget that He gave you those family and friends And remember who you are as in your beginning Don't forget to stay humble and gracious in giving Remember equity should be your inference Don't forget your success is to make a difference Surely it's true that your beginning was small But you obtained your goal though some despised it all For you were upheld by the strength of your loved ones So always remember where you came from
