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
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
