Every September I always remember to sing to your headstone and hear you sing back
Wait for the day, work for the day
How could I forget the world you showed me, courage and brilliance, curiosity
Wait for the day, work for the day
Too many watery eyes in protest
For a brighter age
All the while I'll shine in this song
Even when my body's gone
Too many watery eyes in protest
For a brighter age
All the while you'll shine in this song
Even when your body's gone
I'll hear you sing back
Wait for the day, work for the day
Now every September I always remember
To sing to your headstone and hear you sing back
Wait for the day
Work for the day
Too many watery eyes in protest
For a brighter age
All the while I'll shine in this song
Even when my body's gone
Too many watery eyes in protest
For a brighter age
All the while you'll shine in this song
Even when your body's gone
Beyond time and place, in your footstep's trace
When we close our eyes and we see your face
Beyond the days
Your art and voice are missed
Beyond sentiment, every word is bond
Beyond memory when these days are gone
I'll carry you
In my heart and soul and fist
I promise now
Through the days, every smile's memorial
Every time we raise a glass to your name
It's your energy flows through me
I will walk with my heart still open
Courage spoken loud
I put my song on the track and hear you sing back
