lyrics

Don’t forget
to wipe off your shoes before you come inside
to hang up your coat so it dries
to treat your sister kindly
to share your things

Don’t forget
to sit up straight at the table
to always say “Please” and “Thank you”
to hold your glass with both hands
to appreciate your food

Don’t forget
to love others as he has loved you
even when it’s hard to do
to invite others in without grumbling
feed them well; feed them well

Don’t forget
to listen to your mother
to respect your dad
to look at my eyes when I talk to you,
but don’t talk to me like that

Don’t forget
as much as you can, always
make peace with everyone around you
Dance with those who dance and
cry with those who cry
(because sometimes life is just sad)

Be glad,
be patient,
be constant
and remember to pray

to the Lord
who loves you,
who made you
just the way he meant to

Don’t forget
that you’re special because God made you,
not because of anything you’ve done
his love is more perfect than ours could be
and it is enough
