N.C.

I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory Is this where it gets me? On my feet, several feet ahead of me I see it coming do I run or fire my gun or let it be? There is no beat, no melody Burr, my first friend, my enemy Maybe the last face I ever see If I throw away my shot is this how you'll remember me? What if this bullet is my legacy? Legacy?!?! What is a legacy? It's planting seeds in a garden you never get to see I wrote some notes at the beginning of a song a someone will sing for me America, you great unfinished symphony, you sent for me You let me make a difference A place where even orphaned immigrants can leave their fingerprints And rise up I'm running out of time, I'm running and my time's up Wise up! Eyes up! I catch a glimpse of the other side Laurens leads a soldiers chorus on the other side My son is on the other side He's with my mother on the other side Washington is watching from the other side Teach me how to say goodbye, rise up, rise up Rise up, Eliza! My love take your time, I'll see you on the other side Rise a glass to freedom...
