First Will and Testament

[Verse 1]
Every September, I'll always remember
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"

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
I'll hear you sing back
"Wait for the day, work for the day"

[Verse 2]
Now every September, I'll always remember
Sing to your headstone and hear you sing back
"Wait for the day, work for the day"

[Chorus]
Too many watery eyes in protest
For a brighter age
All the while, I'll shine in this song
Even when your 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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
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 promise you, I will walk
With my heart still open, courage spoken loud
Put my song on the track
To hear you sing back
