Pass It On

Lyrics

Can’t take it with you
Or so it seems to me
The back of my license
States so nonchalantly

“I hereby make a gift
Anatomical”
A simple signature
Changes oh so much

Hopeful thousands wait each day
Just about to fade away
Then silent saviors step up as they fall

Though I will never meet you
A vital gift I leave you
You’re somebody’s sunshine, someone’s son

But won’t you please endeavor
To make my eyes see forever
Or keep my heart a-beatin’ when I’m gone
Pass it on

Young and invincible
Nothin’ can harm me
Then in an instant
I was humbled to my knees

I fought for freedom
The cost comprised my sight
An unnamed angel
Then at last lent me light

Hopeful thousands wait each day
Just about to fade away
Then silent saviors step up as they fall

Though I will never meet you
Every day I feel you
You were somebody’s sunshine, someone’s son

I’ll certainly endeavor
To make your eyes see forever
I see that goodness ain’t completely gone
Pass it on
