If You Know the Words

From the time that she was young
You could hear her singing that song
Says it was God that taught her heart
She just had to stick to her part

She sang with a voice all her own
Keeping the faith and passing it on
The good and bad times, the major, minor keys
Change the words, but keep this melody

And on the day they lay her down
To rise up to glory and that heavenly crown
Still have a song on her lips, in her heart
Still will be happy just to do her part

Let me keep on singing the songs that I know
Even if no one is listening, let me still carry on
Not for fortune, glory or fame
But just to keep on living and remembering my name
