Lyrics

Verse
You start families before you’re fully grown
Try and teach them the way they should go,
Pray they don’t turn out bad
and you work so very hard,
To give 'em everything, you never had
Chorus
When all is said and done,
Did I leave a better place,
For those that knew me, those that loved me,
Will they be forever changed?
Did I make a difference in this life, when I take my last breath,
Will I be thankful for my time here, or Lord, be full of regrets?
Verse
You find a job that meets your family’s needs
It isn’t what you dreamed when the world was at your feet
The sacrifice seems small as you hold the loved ones in your hand
And if I had to do it over, I’d do it all over again

Chorus
When all is said and done,
Did I leave a better place,
For those that knew me, those that loved me,
Will they be forever changed?
Did I make a difference in this life, when I take my last breath,
Will I be thankful for my time here, or Lord, will I have regrets?

Bridge
I’m older now, and as I look back on my time
I know I made mistakes, but sometimes got it right
I loved God and my children, and dearly loved my wife,
When all is said and done I was a rich man in this life
When all is said and done
oh
When all is said, and done.
