One of the finest songwriters ever..... Listen to the video below... Thank You Mr. Marc Cohn. The Things Weve Handed Down Dont know much about you Dont know who you are Weve been doing fine without you But, we could only go so far Dont know why you chose us Were you watching from above Is there someone there that knows us Said wed give you all our love Will you laugh just like your mother Will you sigh like your old man Will some things skip a generation Like Ive heard they often can Are you a poet or a dancer A devil or a clown Or a strange new combination of The things weve handed down I wonder who youll look like Will your hair fall down and curl Will you be a mamas boy Or daddys little girl Will you be a sad reminder Of whats been lost along the way Maybe you can help me find her In the things you do and say And these things that we have given you They are not so easily found But you can thank us later For the things weve handed down You may not always be so grateful For the way that you were made Some feature of your fathers That youd gladly sell or trade And one day you may look at us And say that you were cursed But over time that line has been Extremely well rehearsed By our fathers, and their fathers In some old and distant town From places no one here remembers Come the things weve handed down
