Lyrics
obituary
i saw short paragraph about you, about the end of your journey,
i wondered about your secrets and dreams, the events that coloured your life,
i saw just your former address and your family survivors.
was that all they could say about you? was that all they could say?
it doesn't matter what you've done or how how much money you'd earned,
your reward is who you are & the leassons you have learned
and when your last chapter is written down, your legacy of love will be your crown.
perhaps you'd reared such lovely childrenm sculpting their souls,
capturing smiles on black and white film
you could've been a hobo in your younger days, or sold painting on the baordwalk
strumming tunes to obkivious seaghulls, is that what you did?
tragedy and comedy, disappointments & heartaches
were the colours of your life.
