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
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
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

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
