WORDS

Only Remembered Fading away like the stars of the morning, Losing their light in the glorious sun– Thus would we pass from the earth and its toiling, Only remembered by what we have done. Chorus Only remembered, only remembered, Only remembered for what we have done; (Thus would we pass from the earth and its toiling) Only remembered for what we have done? Shall we be missed though by others succeeded, Reaping the fields we in springtime have sown? No, for the sowers may pass from their labors, Only remembered by what they have done. (Chorus – repeat 3rd line of verse) Only the truth that in life we have spoken, Only the seeds that in life we have sown: These will pass onwards when we are forgotten – Only remembered for what we have done. (Chorus – repeat 3rd line of verse) Who’ll sing the anthems and who’ll tell the story? Will the line hold, will it scatter and run? Shall we at last be united in glory – Only remembered for what we have done? (Chorus – repeat 3rd line of verse)
