When I die, let them judge me by my company of friends
Let them know me as the footprints that I left upon the sand
Let them laugh for all the laughter
Let them cry for laughter's end
But when I die, let them judge me by my company of friends
When I die, let them toast to all the things that I believe
Let them raise a glass to consciousness
And not spill a drop for grief
Let the bubbles rise at midnight
Let their tongues get light as thieves
And when I die, let them toast to all the things that I believe

C G G DI believe in restless hunger
I believe in red balloons
I believe in private thunder
In the end I do believeI believe in inspiration
I believe in lightning bugs
I believe in slow creation
In the end I do believeI believe in ink on paper
I believe in lips on ears
I believe what's shared is savored
In the end I do believeI believe in work on Sundays
I believe in raising barns
I believe in wasting Mondays
In the end I do believeI believe in intuition
I believe in being wrong
I believe in contradiction
In the end I do believeI believe in living smitten
I believe all hearts will mend
I believe our book is written
By our company of friends(Repeat first verse)
