According to Buddha

Being grateful to our parents is the foundation of being a decent person. We exist because of our parents. Our mothers suffered a great deal during pregnancy and while giving birth, much like the earth having to endure much ordeal as plants grow out of the ground.

turn it up, turn it up
turn up your radio loud
don’t forget where you come from
it’s too soon to be proud

remember when
we… were… young
remember when
we… were… young
