Passion, Jeremy - By Example Lyrics






It don't matter what you say
Only matters what you do
It don't matter if the show is on
Better finish up your food
It don't matter if you felt
Or that the sun was in your eyes
All that matters is your best
All that matters is you tried

These are the words of my father
In the midst of all my tears
Kept it in my left back pocket
After all these years

Daddy lives by example
And he walks in love
Though he wasn't always easy
We somehow overcome
Grandpa raised up a good man
I forget you also once were young
Daddy lives by example
And I'm proud to be your son

It don't matter what they think
They can't take away your joy, no
Don't let anyone look down on you
You're not just a little boy
Son I see your full potential
Son I see what you can be
All that matters is you trust your heart
Look to God and just believe

These are my words as a father
In the midst of all his tears
Keep this is your left back pocket
One day I won't be here

Daddy lives by example
And he walks in love
Though it isn't always easy
We somehow overcome
Oh now I hope to be a good man
And hope I don't forget that you're still young
Gotta live by example
And I'm proud that you're my son

You were and always fair
In times you didn't seem to care
Times that you were way too hard on me
Then daddy said
One day you'll understand
When you're holding your own child's hand
The love of a father's what they'll need

Daddy lives by example
And he walks in love
Though he wasn't always easy
We somehow overcome
Grandpa raised up a good man
I forget you also once were young
Now I live by example
And I'm proud to be your son

Gotta live by example
And I'm proud to be your son

  1. V.... A....

    Verse 1]
    It don't matter what you say
    Only matters what you do
    It don't matter if the show is on
    Better finish up your food
    It don't matter if you failed
    Or that the sun was in your eyes
    All that matters is you did your best
    All that matters is you tried
    Chorus 1]
    These are the words of my mother
    In the midst of all my tears
    Kept it in my left back pocket
    After all these years
    Mommy lives by example
    And she walks in love
    Though she wasn't always easy
    We somehow overcome
    Grandma raised up a good girl
    I forget you also once were young
    Mommy lives by example
    And i’m proud to be your son(Alex)


    [Verse 2]
    It don't matter what they think
    They can't take away your joy, no
    Don't let anyone look down on you
    You're not just a little girl
    Mom, I see your full potential
    Mom, I see what you can be
    All that matters is you trust your heart
    Look to God and just believe

    [Chorus 2]
    These are the words of a sibling
    In the midst of all our tears
    Keep this in your left back pocket
    One day we won't be here
    Mommy lives by example
    And she walks in love
    Though it isn't always easy
    We somehow overcome
    Oh, now I hope to be a good girl
    And hope I don't forget that we’re still young
    Gotta live by example
    And I'm proud that you're my mom


    Bridge]
    we weren't always fair
    In times you didn't seem to care
    Times that you were way too hard on me
    Then mommy said "one day you'll understand
    When you're holding your own child's hand
    The love of mother’s what they'll need"


    [Chorus 3]
    Mommy lives by example
    And she walks in love
    Though she wasn't always easy
    We somehow overcome
    Grandma raised up a good girl
    I forget you also once were young
    Now We live by example
    And I'm proud that you’re our mom

    Outro
    Gotta live by example
    And I’m proud that you’re our mom
