A Life Well Lived

Life don't come with any guarantees
Will you spend yours making memories
Do you love with only half a heart
Or like a wild fire, spreading sparks
When the day comes to say goodbye
Are they gonna celebrate your life
Will a sea of black fill the pews
And will they cherish your last "I love yous"
How do you wanna be remembered
When you leave this world behind
Will the stories they'll be sharing
Dry their eyes and make 'em smile
Your memories are the moments
That are only yours to give
Even though you won't be here
You're never really gone
With a life well lived
Did you give without a second thought
Or take more from life than you've ever brought
Did you make it through your bucket list
Can you leave this world with no regret
When they gather around the granite
Looking at the words carved in it
Will the message there be profound
Sum you up and do you proud
How do you wanna be remembered
When you leave this world behind
Will the stories they'll be sharing
Dry their eyes and make 'em smile
Your memories are the moments
That are only yours to give
Even though you won't be here
You're never really gone
With a life well lived
It's not about livin' forever
Though a part of you always will
Let them remember how you love
And how they love you, still
How do you wanna be remembered
When you leave this world behind
Will the stories they'll be sharing
Dry their eyes and make 'em smile
Your memories are the moments
That are only yours to give
Even though you won't be here
You're never really gone
With a life...
A life well lived
