You Never Quit, Jay

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a morning breaking through the clouds After years of rain There's a story written line by line Through the joy and pain Twelve long years of growing up Through the tears and prayers Every stumble, every fall Proved that someone cares [Chorus] Look how far you've come now Through the fire and the storm Every prayer we whispered Kept your spirit warm You never quit, you never stopped You held on through it all Heaven knows we're proud of you Standing ten feet tall [Verse 2] From the boy scouts learning how to lead To the wrestling mat Jay, you gave your everything And there's no taking that back When the disagreements came with Martin And the nights were long You kept pushing, kept believing Finding where you belong [Chorus] Look how far you've come now Through the fire and the storm Every prayer we whispered Kept your spirit warm You never quit, you never stopped You held on through it all Heaven knows we're proud of you Standing ten feet tall [Bridge] Disciplines and growing pains Made a man out of a boy Now we're trading all those tears For overwhelming joy [Verse 3] Hickory Ridge, class of twenty-six Jay, you walked that stage Eighteen years of mercy, Lord You're turning a brand new page May God bless your every step Your career, your dreams, your way Daddy and I believe in you More than words could ever say [Chorus] Look how far you've come now Through the fire and the storm Every prayer we whispered Kept your spirit warm You never quit, you never stopped You held on through it all Heaven knows we're proud of you Standing ten feet tall [Outro] We love you, Jay, with all we are Our son, our pride, our shining star
