Yeah we’re all
Gonna live
Forever
Yeah and shine
Like the moon
And the sun
When we dance, When we sing
When we paint
When we write, When we live
When we play
We place ourselves in the neon
lights
Along the journey of eternity
So we’re all
Gonna live
For ever!
To those names that I
could remember off hand
Whose physical life
force has been drained and
Can no longer do art
which awed the world
This is my tribute from
the depth of my soul

McBurnie

Send your melodic
voice to my ear
Now many gone but ah

Doh hold it against
meh if many names eh call
So all who gone and
left us their art
May we carry on
tradition and play we part!
Yeah we’re all
Gonna live
Forever
Yeah and shine
Like the moon
And the sun
When we dance, When we sing
When we paint
When we write, When we live
When we play
We place ourselves in the neon
lights
Along the journey of eternity
So we’re all
Gonna live
For ever!
