One day these eyes will go blind Like opals in the depths of an inky black mine But until that day comes I'll fill up these lungs And with song, lift up all who I find One day this body will fail But I don't live in fear of eons in hell Just do unto others Like sisters and brothers And goodness will surely prevail One day this flesh will rot My soul will survive only in others' thoughts And so until then I'll pay no mind to sin Or the hope that some say can be bought One day my memory shall die My name will be erased by the years marching by But that ain't so bad Hell, it don't make me sad To make room for those who come by
