How Do You Want to Be Remembered

How do you want to be remembered?

As a sinner or a saint?

As a hero or a villain?

Think about the steps you take

How do you want to be remembered

When they're standing at your grave?

On your tombstone, what is written?

Think about the steps you take

All my life

I've been searching for the answers

How did I lose so much

Of the things that really matter?

Is there no paradise

'Cause I feel no joy or laughter

Seems everything I touch

Only turns into disaster

So I ask myself

How do you want to be remembered?

As a sinner or a saint?

As a hero or a villain?

Think about the steps you take

How do you want to be remembered

When your children come to aid

And they need some inspiration?

Think about the steps you take

Do I reach for love (Do I reach for love)

Only when she says she's leaving? (Only when she says she's leaving?)

Do I pray above (Do I pray above)

Only when I feel I'm needing?

See, I can't sleep at night

When sheep turn into demons

There's no alibi

When the jury knows your secret

So I ask myself

How do you want to be remembered?

As a sinner or a saint?

As a hero or a villain?

Think about the steps you take

How do you want to be remembered

When your children come to aid

And they need some inspiration?

Think about the steps you take

'Cause on the day when you face judgement

You better have your story straight (Your story straight)

Were you a good friend and a husband

To the wife that gives you love, love, love?

You love, love, love, oh

How do you want to be remembered?

As a sinner or a saint?

As a hero or a villain?

Think about the steps you take
