Memories Down the Line

First
We should call a truce
This time
Forgetting all we left behind
Stow
Everything we know
Along
Through your father’s eyes, your mother’s smile
Send these memories down the line
For future generations
Send these memories down the line
And let them know we tried
Lessons locked inside
For them to find
Send these memories down the line
They gave
All they tried to save
From themselves
With remedies, from history
Pride
All the things they tried
That never worked
Experiences hold the key
Send these memories down the line
Our trials and tribulations
Send these memories down the line
And let them know we tried
Lessons locked inside
For them to find
Send these memories down the line
Send these memories down the line
For future generations
Send these memories down the line
Lessons locked inside
Give them a fighting chance
To know that we tried
Send these memories down the line
Down the line
Down the line
Down the line
