We spend a lot of time just in search
For the meaning of this life we live
But we just can't see it from our precarious perch
So in the end we just accept the knife death gives

And while we all strive to make our mark
Most of us leave the world unaccomplished
But that's because we lack will and our demise is stark
Why try for what we've already wished

No we're not immortal or even bulletproof
But why don't we even try for what some would die
Call me crazy.. but if you ask me, something is aloof
We all want to be remembered but we never want to cry

Heaven requires some effort and sacrifice
Both living and beyond our end of days
Selfishness, greed, and laziness will not suffice
You can always do better, no one is set in their ways

Maybe this is true or maybe I'm a fool
That's for the individual to decide
I might be naive, but I am not a tool
I will be accomplished by the time I have died​

The time for us to say goodbye is near
The day I hoped would never come is here
Though many hearts are broken we must somehow carry on
Cause I think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

I thought my life was over when we met
So little to remember, so much to forget
Though it was you who saw me through the darkness to the dawn
Still I think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

I'm a modest man
And it hurts me to say these things to you
After all we've been through it's the least that I can do
So instead of just goodbye I'll say so long
And as for the light by which you see me leave it on
I'm a better man than I was before
Knowing you has made me strong
And I sure am going to miss you when I'm gone
Yes I sure am going to miss you when I'm gone
~Randy Newman
