Song – Only Remembered
I’ve heard this sung by several people. My favorite version is by Bill Staines, on his “Looking for the Wind” album. You can download the song for $.99
Up and away like the dew in the morning,
Soaring from earth to its home in the sun,
Thus we will pass from the earth and its toiling,
Only remembered for what we have done.
Only the truth that in life we have spoken.
Only the seed we have sown,
These shall pass onward when we are forgotten,
Fruits of the harvest and what we have done.
Only remembered, Only remembered,
Only remembered for what we have done,
Only remembered, Only remembered,
Only remembered for what we have done.
Shall we be missed when the others succeed us,
Keeping the fields that in springtime we’ve sown?
No, for the sowers shall pass from their labors,
Only remembered for what they have done.
Only remembered, Only remembered,
Only remembered for what they have done,
Only remembered, Only remembered,
Only remembered for what they have done.
Up and away like the dew in the morning,
Soaring from earth to its home in the sun,
Thus we will pass from the earth and its toiling,
Only remembered for what we have done.
