Distant Memories

Flash forward a century

In an overgrown cemetery

My tombstone lays so peacefully

Dirt and grime over time

“He lived a full life

and so wonderfully”

But no one remembers

that life I’m just history

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
