Our hist'ry books are filled with famous names
Brave men who sacrificed and persevered
Some men reach greatness simply playing games
While some find courage, challenging what's feared
To be remembered after one has died
A light that shines through centuries of dark
We hope our children bear our name with pride
Though vain, we'd like to think we've left a mark
But lofty legacies are built by fate
And usually evade the common man
One barren generation cleans the slate
Time unimpressed, forgets our short life span
For me, I've fostered trees instead of peers
I'm told, some species live a thousand years...
