generation 2 generation - money mike sandberg lyrics
[intro: money mike sandberg]
generation 2 generation
this song is a dedication
to my grandfather, danny
who p-ssed away in 2015
he struggled
with his health
before his struggle
he was humble
and had
many achievements
this song
is
his-story for history
[verse 1 – money mike sandberg]
after high school
went oversees
fought with the crew
in world war 2
stationed in okinawa
the soldiers
he met
the stories he told
photos
were taken
in black and white
dan, an honest man
never left any grey
after the war
he came back home
for his wife roslyn
they traveled around
together
never boxed in
he was the man
he told his-story
to make her-story
opening new chapters
a series of tales
i smile when
my father tells them
again and again
every time so pure
i look into the night sky
and i know he’s there
watching down on us
so i just watch
in my living room
and..
watch him soar above us
[chorus – money mike sandberg]
generation 2 generation
dan was such a special man
legacy and character
like superman
but yoda, who he strived to be
portraying a
story
which i hope
you all can see
wisdom that measured to the moon and back..
he reached for the stars
now he’s among them
dan was the man!
[verse 2 – money mike sandberg]
flip the script
in the movie business
president and ceo of
tvc
lab
and video
company
lightened images
in the lab
changed the image tone
known as chem-tone
he won a clio award for it
he set the tone
gentle man
an accomplished man
i wish
i could’ve
witnessed it
first hand
cherisma, the family said
he possessed
he had a charm
a business etiquette
and he left an impression
on his workers
who were all
humble and diligent
so shake his hand
mano y mano
hand in hand
oh man
he was an
enterprising man
business man
and lastly
a family man
[chorus – money mike sandberg]

[verse 3 – money mike sandberg]
final verse
gotta make it right
his sight on yoda
and i was his jedi
i wrote this line in
poetry for him
hoping to lift his soul from
the ashes
for when
he was crashing
all the pain and struggle
in the
dialysis room of the hospital
i told him
he would make it through
and i was right
because
his legacy
lives on now
so pure like the open sky
if he only knew
i would make this song
he would just tell you
to help others in need
giving back to others is my only…destiny
here’s my 2 cents
together forever
generation 2 generation
his mission was to always
to make this world a better place
to make this world anew
[chorus – money mike sandberg]

[closing – money mike sandberg]

mano y mano
grandpa dan
a special man..
let’s own
this mission to
make our world a better place
and make this world anew
making this our plan
his legacy becomes our…destiny
