Will you remember me
Long after I’m gone?
Will my name be spoke
My memory unbroken
My heart wide open?
Will you remember me?
Go forth, go home, my boy
And do avoid
The slings and arrows
Fields that lie fallow
And seek out all that’s good
That’s kind, that’s just
And remember me when you do
Take defeats with your triumphs
Both of them ring true
Gracious when you glory
Down drown in your darkest blue
Seek not to be a dirt poor slave
Chained to a plow
Nor king of all the breathless dead
These are the truths that I tell you
These are the truths that I tell you
Will you remember me
Long after I’m gone?
Will my name be spoken?
A memory unbroken?
My heart wide open
Will you remember me?
