Got an older brother and we argue every time we speak Every relationship is different Ours is unique Shoulda said I'm sorry 'fore I went to school in T-town I got your memories I got you on the rebound Walk with the ancestors - Grand mommy And if I start to get weary, please stand by me I just want the world to know your grandson was thinkin' of you I guess it's never too late to say that I love you So this one is for you Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on Life goes on
