Brent will live

This is the time
to test my spirit
or is it the time
for me to carry on?
I'm alive
just not breathing
all around you
though for some I might be gone
I'm like the river that flows through the mountains of beyond

I wont cry today
I'll give it all my self control
Instead I'll pray to God
to have mercy on your soul

I'll remember, all the good things, of your life
I'll remember, all the good things, of your life
like your smile
I'll remember, everything, about your life
No I wont cry

I can still see you
with that camera of yours
eager to get back
to start editing and opening doors
you gave it all to your work
even gave yourself for the common good

But I wont cry today
I'll give it all my self control
Instead I'll pray to God tonight
to have mercy on your soul

I'll remember, all the good things, of your life
I'll remember, all the good things, of your life
like your smile
I'll remember, everything, about your life
No I wont cry, tonight

I'll remember, all the good things, of your life
I'll remember, everything, about your life
You get the glory, man
I'll remember, all the good things, of your life
like your smile

The day he left he named it as his course
he lived and thrived like a mighty force
so close your eyes and see him in between your memories
you'll hear the wind singing something sweet through the trees

Brent will live in me
yes in you and me
some may not but some will see
Brent will live

I'll remember, all the good things, of your life
I'll remember, everything, about your life
You get the glory
I'll remember, all the good things, of your life
I cant believe I'm writing this
We'll remember, all the good things, of your life
I'll remember, everything, about your life
like your smile

Brent, you're gone
but these cars bud, they keep moving on
or maybe, that's the sign
I wish you'd live a thousand lives
as I watch you go beyond that light.
