Kansas - Memories Down the Line Lyrics

First we should call a truce
This time
Forgetting all we left behind
Stow everything we know
Along
Through your father’s eyes
Your mother’s smile

Send these memories down the line
For future generations
Send these memories down the line
And let them know we tried
Lessons locked inside for them to find
Send these memories down the line

They gave all they tried to save
From themselves
With remedies from history
Pride, all the things they tried
That never worked
Experiences hold the key

Send these memories down the line
Our trials and tribulations
Send these memories down the line
And let them know we tried
Lessons locked inside for them to find
Send these memories down the line

Send these memories down the line
For future generations
Send these memories down the line
Lessons locked inside
Give them a fighting chance
To know that we tried
Send these memories down the line
