I Shall Live as I Want to be Remembered
I want to remembered as one who fully lived
Remembered as a person who gave all he had to give
I want to be remembered as a spirit full of youth
As a man who had the strength to stand in his own truth.
I want to be remembered for my ability
To seek and find the goodness that others couldn't see
I want to be remembered for doing what was right
Even when it meant I had to stand and face the fight
CHORUS
I shall live as I want to be remembered.
I shall live my life in love.
I shall live as I want to be remembered.
I shall live my life in love.
I want to be remembered for generosity
Compassion and forgiveness and my integrity
I want to be remembered for my creativity
And my willingness to be wrong, for my humility.
I want to be remembered for my laughter and my play
And my gentleness of spirit and easy going ways
Remembered for my courage to always try new things
For calling forth the music that helped another sing
(chorus)
I want to be remembered for this and so much more
When I finally make that journey through the light of heavens door.
(chorus)
