Keep going.

You don't need those songs.

You don't need me.

I want you to keep going.

I want you to write songs.

I want you to make music.

Don't give up because of me.

Quitters never win.

"Quitters never win"?

Is that seriously the best you've got?

"Quitters never win"?

I... I...

That's the best I got.

Quitters never win.

My son's name was Josh Manning.

Two years ago,

he shot and killed six people.

This was his song.

Stuck in your confines

chewin' it over

Caught in your headlights

Stop staring

You don't know what's on my mind

What am I thinking?

Whatever I say is a lie

So stop staring

Tread carefully

Take a breath and count the stars

Let the world go round without you

If you're somewhere

you can hear this song

sing along

Close your eyes and count to 10

Maybe love's the only answer

I will find a way

to sing your song

so sing along

Help me understand

the silence

We make the best we can

of everything

Nothing is what it was

Turnin' the light on

Honesty changes us

completely

Tread carefully

Take a breath and count the stars

Let the world go round without you

If you're somewhere

you can hear my song

sing along

Close your eyes and count to 10

Maybe love's the only answer

I will find a way

to sing your song

If you sing along

What is lost can't be replaced

What is gone is not forgotten

I wish you were here

to sing along

my son

my son

my son

my son
