and sometimes when I'm gone
I wonder if you'll miss me
I wonder who will miss me
  and will I ever know...

and who can I believe
after all is said and done
after all that I've been through
  will truths proof ever show...

or will I doubt the human heart
will it fail me till the end
will it all fall apart
will I never have a friend
who does not pretend
who does not pretend
  who does not pretend...

with every passing year I grow more daring
as life passes I know death closes in
it seems most people settle more and choose some easy answers
but for me it's time for more exploration to begin

what have I got to lose, I've lived a good life
I don't need to know where I'm going next
whatever is out there I know I'll still be me
and wherever I am I'll do my best

I will not compromise my heart
I'll takes it's purity to the grave
I will not go down until I go down
my soul's not one you need to save

I will not compromise my ideals
I'll stand for who I am beyond all time
maybe you can imagine how good it feels
to actually live this life in rhyme

and I may be alone some nights
and some ways I will always be
one solitary individual
the definition of me

and some nights I may share something
only one other person might know
you can turn to god or anyone you choose
I choose to be here in life's flow
doing the best I can to let go

and with every passing year I grow more daring
as life passes I know death closes in
it seems most people settle more and choose some easy answers
but for me the trust grows deeper within

I have nothing to lose, I've lived a good life
I have passed the most important test
I've strived to live by what I believe in
whatever comes of it, I've done my best

I will not compromise my heart
I'll takes it's purity to the grave
I will not go down until I go down
my soul's not one you need to save

I will not compromise my ideals
I'll stand for who I am beyond all time
maybe you can imagine how good it feels
to actually live this life in rhyme

so let me wonder as I wander
share what you can if you will
reach for your best every chance you get
when you don't it's your spirit you kill

and maybe someday you'll remember
maybe someday we will know
the truth in the human heart
maybe someday it will show
maybe someday it will show
maybe someday love will show
