Download mp3 - Pass it on : Maria McKee
Some
men get up every morning and put on a pre-pressed suit
And some stay in the office, behind a desk they pay their dues
Some men make an honest buck, some muscle kids out on the street
Some men only know the feel of earth that gives beneath their feet
They only know the feel of earth that gives beneath their feet
Chorus:
Land to lay, father to son
Son to say, “Pass it on”
Trust to trust, gold to dust
Keep the faith ‘til the battle’s won
Pass it on, pass it on
Fortune blesses those with virtue, but you must learn to use your will
They’ll snatch it out from under you the minute you stand still
Any fighting fool can plant a seed and borrows more than he could owe
It was all I ever needed just to prove that it could grow
All I ever needed was to prove that seed could grow
Chorus
It’s gonna take more than a rule to make me leave my heritage
It’s gonna take more than that to make me turn my back to it
As long as I’m alive I’ll take the stand and pass it on
As long as there’s a man, there’ll be a son to pass it on
Chorus
