You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
JOHNNY CASHYou build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

JOHNNY CASHI love the freedoms we got in this country, I appreciate your freedom to burn your flag if you want to, but I really appreciate my right to bear arms so I can shoot you if you try to burn mine.
JOHNNY CASHStop your ears and close your eyes and try to find the face of love.

JOHNNY CASHA rose looks grey at midnight, but the flame is just asleep. And steel is strong because it knows the hammer and white heat.
JOHNNY CASHI don’t give up because I don’t give up. I don’t believe in it.
JOHNNY CASHLife and love go on, let the music play.
JOHNNY CASHInside the walls of a prison my body may be, but my Lord has set my soul free.
