Live On

'You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes & pray that he'll come back,
Or you can open your eyes & see all that he's left.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
Or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow & live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember him & only that he's gone,
Or you can cherish his memory & let it live on.
You can cry & close your mind,
Be empty & turn your back,
Or you can do what he'd want:
Smile, open your eyes, love & go on.'
