lyrics

Remember when your car stopped on the road
And you pulled off to the side
And then a man stopped nearby
And offered you a ride
Remember that time at the beach
As a sandcastle-building child
That boy who just started helping
Building a wall to fend off the tide

Pay it forward, pay it back
Help when you can, take up the slack
Of those who don’t give a damn
About their fellow man
Pay it forward, pay it back

See that poor soul sitting all alone
On the dirty city sidewalk
He’s looking for someone to help him out
To find a key to the lock
That keeps him so far down
He can hardly talk
Someone to come and lift him up
Help him from under his rock

Pay it forward, pay it back
Help when you can, take up the slack
Of those who don’t give a damn
About their fellow man
Pay it forward, pay it back

One day you might be needing help, too
You may find others looking down on you
Feeling like there’s nothing that you can do
There’s always hope if you’re one of those who

Pays it forward, pays it back
Help when you can, take up the slack
Of those who don’t give a damn
About their fellow man
Pay it forward, pay it back

February 9 ... the Beatles took the stage on the Ed Sullivan show and while the girls in the audience screamed, his parents and grandparents exclaimed about the "long hairs", a 7-year-old boy thought, 'I'm going to learn to play the guitar one day!' ... more
