First Will and Testament

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
