Bury Me By The Sea

 

Verse 1

How do you measure

Ones impact in life

Is it friends accumulated

Or levels of wealth

 

For some of us

Its a life of good deeds

A quiet life spent

With few rewards

 

Chorus

Bury me by the sea

A seat for a headstone

Where people can sit

And laugh as one

 

Verse 2

Some chase fame

Historic significance

For others its infamy

A bloodied difference

 

This is a question

I ask a lot

Are we important

Or just cosmic dust

 

Chorus

Bury me by the sea

A seat for a headstone

Where people can sit

And laugh as one

 

Verse 3

When we die

And are finally equal

Not held to race

Creed, good or evil

 

What then of our importance

Our mark on this world

Mere ashes to feed

This ongoing hell

 

Chorus

Bury me by the sea

A seat for a headstone

Where people can sit

And laugh as one

 

Verse 4

My needs are simple

Remembered with laughs

Someone who

Nearly grew up

 

Chorus

Bury me by the sea

A seat for a headstone

Where people can sit

And laugh as one
