Lyrics

Perseverance my grandfathers’ seed,
More bounty than the common weed.
Planting hay, corn and potatoes,
Self-sufficient, reap what they sow.
Grandma stirring something up,
She’d fill your plate, fill your cup.
Everything, would be fed,
Before they retired, off to bed.

Chorus:
I found rocks along the path,
Instilled values, do the math.
Teachers, teaching with little pay,
Say thank you, in a big way.
Hold integrity, make it stronger,
Notice rocks, where you wander.

Rocks like Mom Dad and Friends,
Who seem to show up, when you’re at your ends.
Saturating, with encouraging words,
Or a diversion, that’s just absurd.
God knew I would kneel down,
Blessed to have rocks around.

Chorus:
I found rocks along the path,
Instilled values, do the math.
Teachers teaching with little pay,
Say thank you, in a big way.
Hold integrity, make it stronger,
Some rocks aren’t here any longer.

A heart attack took Grandpa away,
Grandma carrying on, in her tender way.
Cancer won, in mom’s last breath,
Teachers hand out, some damn hard tests.
The roles reverse and you’re a rock,
As time ticks away on your father’s clock.

Chorus:
I’ve found rocks along the path,
Instilled values, do the math.
Teachers teaching with little pay,
Say thank you in a big way.
Hold integrity, make it stronger,
You can see it, smile and ponder.
I’ve found rocks along the path,
Hundreds, when you do the math.
Some are heavy, some are light,
Maybe rocks, are Stars at night.
