Our souls are fierce flames
That can’t be vanquished by death
They burn on and on
Even time's harsh hand
Can't efface the work of love
Which lasts forever
We are remembered
Inspiring smiles and tears
And actions that speak
Life keeps going on
Better for having had us
We walk on, beyond
Then we re-emerge
Our particles become parts
Of flowers and trees
Becoming starstuff
Arriving at infinite
Space once again we
Resume what we were
Bright celestial matter
Inspiring with light

That can’t be vanquished by death
They burn on and on
Even time's harsh hand
Can't efface the work of love
Which lasts forever
We are remembered
Inspiring smiles and tears
And actions that speak
Life keeps going on
Better for having had us
We walk on, beyond
Then we re-emerge
Our particles become parts
Of flowers and trees
Becoming starstuff
Arriving at infinite
Space once again we
Resume what we were
Bright celestial matter
Inspiring with light
