Remembered Only By the Way We Lived

one of the things i fear
is not being remembered when i'm no longer here
how will they remember you when you pass away
will people have many good things to say 
will they be left somewhat apauled
or will anyone even remember you at all
did you leave an impression sometype of change
or will anyone even remember your name
think about what will be said 
when the people you know find out youre dead
how many love ones will you leave sad 
how many people would actually be glad
just imagine the day you die
how many of your friends will even cry
now that you can recall 
 how many of them would even care at all
you only get out of life what you give 
so you'll be remembered only by the way you lived
