I'm looking at a number, that grows smaller everyday I'm turning with the pages, and there's something left to say Always, ever I am reaching Living, learning as I'm teaching Giving, everything is all for you Just one link in the chain of life, is all we can hope to be The way a man's remembered, let honor be your legacy Always, ever to remember Living, not a dying ember Giving, hope that you will light the fire One to follow, there to lead when I am done One will follow, stay the course for everyone Just hold to what is tried and true, it will always see you through And keep it all inside you, it's the treasure you must pursue Do the right, turn back the night Keep the faith, the goal's in sight Face it down, and never bend Bow your pride, and always be a friend You will follow, heir to lead when I am done One must follow, stay the course for everyone (You will) follow....'
