When you think of all the great people that have died The things they did, the way they lived their lives Many have gone without knowing their fame We are the ones that are left to blame Examples of man's stupidity Endless lessons in humility Why do we wait till they're gone and dead? We martyr their soul as the good book says Hero by death Hero by death Hero by death We shouldn't wait until tomorrow Hail the greatness of today We shouldn't wait for times of sorrow Belated praise Greatness of today Greatness of today Greatness of today I never wait until tomorrow I love the greatness of today I never wait for times of sorrow Listen what I say When you think of all the great people that have died The things they did, the way they lived their lives Courage, honour and dignity Leaving a mark in society
