Mother, you don’t know me
but I’m wishing you some peace
This day has left you lonely
and in a time of need
for someone to comfort you and listen
to the words that you speak

When all your hope is gone
just keep holding on
to sweet memories
When all your hope is gone
just keep holding on
to sweet memories

Father, I’m a stranger
but I recognize your pain
And there is nothing short of anger
when the scene plays out again
Another world of sadness fills your heart
The tears are on your face

When all your hope is gone
just keep holding on
to sweet memories
When all your hope is gone
just keep holding on
to sweet memories

How many times should children lose their fathers?
How many times can we do this to one another?
I don’t pray to Jesus, but I pray we love each other
because we can, because we can

People, I’m your neighbor
and so you are mine
And how we treat each other
is defining of our time
I don’t have the answers
to all the world’s questions
but someone said to me

When all your hope is gone
just keep holding on
to sweet memories
When all your hope is gone
just keep holding on
to sweet memories
With all that’s come and gone
just keep holding on
to sweet memories
With all that’s come and gone
we shall overcome
with sweet memories
