Choir boy heavenbound

If the reaper calls my name and I'm gone tomorrow,

Don't you drown the street in tears or in hollow sorrow.

Just remember how I stood, keep the name alive,

Teach the young the way to walk so they can all survive.

Put the choir in the booth, let the kids sing truth,

While I'm lying in the dirt, keep the heart in youth.

Let the children sing, let the bells all ring!

When the lights go out, I'm the ghost in the wing!

Legacy of fire, raise the choir higher!

Peace in the grave, no more walking the wire!

(Peace in the grave, no more walking the wire!)

Check the tally on the wall, see the life I spent,

Every penny that I earned, every message sent.

I don't need no gold statues, just a simple word,

Make sure that my final wish is the first thing heard.

No more sirens, no more rain, no more heavy breathing,

Just the voices of the future while the ghost is leaving.

Let the children sing, let the bells all ring!

When the lights go out, I'm the ghost in the wing!

Legacy of fire, raise the choir higher!

Peace in the grave, no more walking the wire!

(Peace in the grave, no more walking the wire!)

(Sleep now... legacy is set... peace now...)

(Peace now...)
