My Funeral
Remember me like the holocaust
Many die without having the chance to live
Millions of them without a funeral
Bury them with a casket full of bouquets
Remember me like the Great Depression
Markets crashing from the sky
People try to find a new hope
Bury them with a casket full of bouquets
Remember me like Abraham Lincoln
Innocence died before it had the chance to discover freedom
Bruises and wounds, too much hate to move on
Bury them with a casket full of bouquets
Remember me like the Pope
Always forgiving and justifying the facts
Way up in the clouds we all go,
Bury them with a casket full of bouquets
Remember me like Martin Luther King Jr.
Giving up my own rights to end segregation
Bloody violence in the streets God bless us all
Bury them with a casket full of bouquets
Remember me like the kids from Columbine
Assault rifles and bullets stray in the high school cafeteria
Empty souls and dreams fill the school with ghostly thoughts
Bury them with a casket full of bouquets
Remember me like the people on 9/11
Jumping a hundred stories to avoid burning
All the innocent blood spilled because of the Middle East
Bury them with a casket full of bouquets
Remember me like the Pharaoh
Build me a temple and a shrine
Put everything in tomb that reminds me of life
Bury me with a casket full of bouquets
