a

life

Through

the

storm

and

the

wind,

through

the

daily

strife

You

work,

as

one

band

Growing

in

greatness

all

through

the

land

We

keep

up

the

hustle,

we

keep

up

the

pace

Living

with

honor,

we

finish

the

race

You

showed

me

that

hard

work

brings

the

reward

With

every

challenge,

we

trust

in

the

Lord

I’

m

rising

up

high

because

you

believed

In

every

dream

that

I

have

conceived

Oh,

them

now,

they

have

sown

always

my

guide

Yeah,

you’

re

always

my

guide

Long

life

and

more

prosperity,

that

is

my

prayer

For

the

depth

of

your

love

and

the

weight

of

your

care

May

the

heavens

pour

down,

may

the

blessings

rain

For

bring,

for

healing

the

pain
