[Verse 1] First is health The strength to carry on Second is time Before the light is gone Third is love The fire in the dark Fourth is family The place you leave your mark [Chorus] Ten things to hold Ten things to keep The promises you make Before you sleep Not gold or fame Nor things that you can buy Just the ten truths That look you in the eye [Verse 2] Fifth is your dream The map within your soul Sixth is patience To reach a distant goal Seventh is courage When every road feels wrong Eighth is your word The weight behind your tongue [Bridge] Ninth is forgiveness For yourself For all you've known Tenth is the wisdom To see you’re not alone (oh) [Chorus] Ten things to hold Ten things to keep The promises you make Before you sleep Not gold or fame Nor things that you can buy Just the ten truths That look you in the eye
