How Many Will Be Remembered |
A million unsung heroes over there and here at home |
Who are sleeping in their graves, their names are unknown |
The Lincoln, Kings, and Kennedys will all go down in history |
But so will Hitler and little old Al Capone |
It takes people, all kind of people to make a world, they say |
We’ve got all kinds of people passing through this world today |
We’ve got saints, sinners and losers and winners |
The good old mes and yous |
How many will be remembered? |
Just a few |
How many will be remembered? |
Just a few |
How many will be remembered? |
Just a few |
When they start taking names for the hall of fame |
And writing up the who’s who |
How many will be remembered? |
Just a few |
I get a bad taste in my mouth every time I try to say |
John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald and names like James Earl Ray |
They’re never to be forgotten, it seems |
But they stick like coins in the minds of men |
A hundred million years from today |
But you know what? |
It takes people, all kind of people to make a world, they say |
They’ve got all kinds of people passing through this world today |
We’ve got saints, sinners and losers and winners |
The good old mes and yous |
How many will be remembered? |
Just a few |
How many will be remembered? |
Just a few |
How many will be remembered? |
Just a few |
When they start taking names for the hall of fame |
And writing the who’s who |
How many will be remembered? |
Just a few |
Can you tell me now? |
How many will be remembered? |
Just a few |
How many will be remembered? |
Just a few |
When they start taking names for the hall of fame |
And writing up the who’s who |
How many will be remembered? |
Just a few |
How many will be remembered? |
Just a few |
How many will be remembered? |
Just a few |
When they start taking names for the hall of fame |
And writing up the who’s who |
How many will be remembered? |
Just a few |
