Flash forward a century In an overgrown cemetery My tombstone lays so peacefully Dirt and grime over time slowly cover up the line: "He lived a full life, and so wonderfully" But no one remembers that life I'm just history Nothing more than distant little memories But I am in a place where I never felt more home And now my old life seems to be Nothing more than distant memories
Sadness strangely fills the mind Of a young girl trying to find where They say her great grandfather lies And as she gazes at the stone Of a man she's never known She doesn't think that'll be her one day Where no one remembers your life We forget the treasure to come In a life that won't let us down Where we're much more than distant memories
