Tell them our lives can change with every breath we take…
““Tell them our lives can change with every breath we take. Lord, we both know that. Tell them to let go of what's gone because men like Roger Briscoe never win. And, tell them to hold on like hell to what they've got, each other, and a mother who would die for them and almost did. Tell them we've all got meanness in us... But tell them that we have some good in us, too. And, the only thing worth living for is the good. That's why we've got to make sure we pass it on.””
