Revive - Distant Memories | |
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 | |
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 |

But no one remembers | |

And now my old life seems to be Nothing more | |

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 |
