How do you want to be remembered
As a sinner or a saint, as a hero or a villain
Think about the steps you take
How do you want to be remembered
When they're standing at your grave
On your tombstone, what is written
Think about the steps you take
All my life I've been searching for the answers
How did I lose so much of the things that really matter
Is there no paradise, cause I feel no joy or laughter
Seems everything I touch only turns into disaster
So I ask myself
How do you want to be remembered
As a sinner or a saint, as a hero or a villain
Think about the steps you take
How do you want to be remembered
When your children come to aid
And they need some inspiration
Think about the steps you take
Do I reach for love only when she says she's leaving
Do I pray above only when I feel I'm needing
See I can't sleep at night, when sheep turn into demons
There's no alibi when the jury knows your secret
So I ask myself
How do you want to be remembered
As a sinner or a saint, as a hero or a villain
Think about the steps you take
How do you want to be remembered
When your children come to aid
And they need some inspiration
Think about the steps you take
Cause on the day when you face judgement
You better have your story straight
Were you a good friend and a husband
To the wife that gives you love, love, love
You love, love, love, oh
How do you want to be remembered
As a sinner or a saint, as a hero or a villain
Think about the steps you take
How do you want to be remembered
When they're standing at your grave
On your tombstone, what is written
Think about the steps you take
How do you want to be remembered
How do you want to be remembered
Think about the steps you take
How do you want to be remembered
How do you want to be remembered
