I don't have the words. I leave it to Si.

WHAT WILL I LEAVE

Words and music by Si Kahn

Late in the evening as light fades away
In silence we gather together
Searching the faces of those who are here
For those who have left us forever.

Chorus:
What will I leave
What will I leave
What will I leave behind
When I am gone
Who'll carry on
What will I leave behind.

Where are the ones who caught flame in the night
Fired up by the heat of devotion
Measuring their lives by the light of the truth
They burned like a lamp on the ocean.

Who will remember the words of the brave
That lifted us higher and higher
Who will remember the price that they paid
For lives lived too close to the fire.

Hearts of the ones who inherit your lives
Will rest in the truth you have spoken
Memory will echo the trust that you kept
Like you it will never be broken.
