From the recording Virtue
VirtueOnce upon a time in the suburbsA man came to make him a lifeHe knew it woundnt b easyTo take care of 5 kids and a wifeHe rarely worried bout money he always worked sometimes twice He cut his grass and washed his carAnd to still find some time in the nightTo the neighbors he was known as a good man In business made friends for life He was all about family his childrenhis parents his wife He raised a strong crop of children Taught them to ride bikes and driveTo show up for work earlyAnd not take seriously there strifeThis to shall pass he said to them allWhen the chasm seemed open and wideHe take time for catch and to hit a ballHis answer to life lets play golfThen one cold day in phoenix hell froze overAghast they learned of his fateFound out the man wouldn't last but a few monthsThen he said lets get this straightHe said i've lived my life to fullestAnd now it's time to move onDon't you waste your time in grieving for meTake care of your daughters and sonsMissin uI know that he knew we loved himAnd showed the respect we hadThis hero was more than a fatherWhen we called him by name We said DadMissin uMissin uMissin u
