Fading candlelight. A little ink in the pen. A page remains
After all this time, I'm still amazed. We fall for the same things over and over again
The past has a way of clawing back into our day
Rips and tears into our hearts and we keep repeating history

I got my mother's eyes. And my father's work
I wonder what our sons and daughters will have of ours
I hope it's not my pride, lies, or lack of remorse
Please let it be only the best in me, however little it may seem

The scariest thing is not dying before you reach your dreams
But reaching them and still feeling dead
Live your life in light of history and eternity
Death can teach us how to live our lives with clarity

Life flies by in the blink of an eye
Did you rise in these days? Or did you fall for old lies?
In the end, chin high. Stare death in its eye
Tell it you lived for something more than your own life

The scariest thing is not dying before you reach your dreams
But reaching them and still feeling dead
Live your life in light of history and eternity
Death can teach us how to live our lives with clarity

To my little one, someday
You have my heart forever. I am with you always
These songs I wrote for you. Please learn from my mistakes
My eyes have yet to see paradise, though this world tried to convince me otherwise
When I'm gone please keeps my words close to your heart and carry on
Keep your faith. Fix your eyes. The one who sees you to the bottom loves you to the skies
Tear a hole in the sky, bring heaven to earth, make the world's collide. Make the world's collide
We all die young, but death, where is your sting?
Like Johnny said, ain't no grave gonna hold your body down. Godspeed
