Honor Them All Lyrics - Hunger - Janis Ian

they say that you can choose your friends 

but you can't choose your family 

and it's a lucky man who ends up in good company 

i've done my share of looking back 

regret's my middle name 

but the time goes by so fast 

you turn around, tomorrow's passed 

and the ones you love will never be the same 

so why don't you honor your father 

honor your mother 

honor yourself above all 

honor the gifts 

you bring one another 

each time you rise or you fall 

honor them all

there's not a family on this earth 

doesn't sling a little mud 

hands get weary, hearts get hurt 

we bow to the flesh and blood 

oh, people can be cruel sometimes 

it leaves a lasting scar 

but when you put it to the test 

you usually find they've done their best 

and as bad as that may be 

it's turned you into who you are 

so why don't you honor your father 

honor your mother 

honor yourself above all 

honor the gifts 

you bring one another 

each time you rise or you fall 

honor them all

i have three nephews, all my children 

and my memories 

if there's one thing i would ask 

it's that they keep alive the past 

so the future doesn't have to end with me 

i want them to honor their father 

honor their mother 

honor themselves above all 

honor the gifts 

they bring one another 

each time they rise or they fall 

honor them all 

honor them all
