Hand Me Downs - Gareth Dunlop

She raised us good,

She raised us right.

Wasn’t easy to

Keep us all in line.

When hard times fell

It never showed.

My mother is the strongest girl I know.

He worked all day

Till his hands were sore.

With pride in his eyes

And a heart full of joy.

Day after day

And he never moaned.

My father is the toughest guy I know.

Hand me down

All that you are to me.

Hand me down

All that I hope to be.

Hand me downs,

Hand me downs

Mean the world to me.

She’s been through

More than most of us.

With a heart of gold

That’s seen too much.

My sister is the bravest girl I know.

He’s a quiet guy,

The old fashioned type.

Someone to trust.

Handy in a fight.

A friend I can call

When I need it most.

My brother is the nicest guy I know.

Hand me down

All that you are to me.

Hand me down

All that I hope to be.

Hand me downs,

Hand me downs

Mean the world to me.

Mean the world to me.

She’s a gentle soul

With the kindest ways.

An open book

page after page.

When I need picked up

I know just where to go.

My other sister is the sweetest girl I know.

Hand me down

All that you are to me.

Hand me down

All that I hope to be.

Hand me downs,

Hand me downs

Mean the world to me.

Mean the world to me.
