Distant Memories - Revive

Flash forward a century

In an overgrown cemetery

My tombstone lays so peacefully

Dirt and grime over time slowly cover up the line:

«He lived a full life, and so wonderfully»

But no one remembers that life

I’m just history

Nothing more than distant little memories

But I am in a place where

I never felt more home

And now my old life seems to be

Nothing more than distant memories

Sadness strangely fills the mind

Of a young girl trying to find where

They say her great grandfather lies

And as she gazes at the stone

Of a man she’s never known

She doesn’t think that’ll be her one day

Where no one remembers your life

We forget the treasure to come

In a life that won’t let us down

Where we’re much more than distant memories
