It will not matter to you when the life's breath from you has gone
If you are forgotten or your name does live on
Fame and wealth only count to living women and men
When you are deceased nothing matters to you then
Everyone cannot be wealthy and famous and known far and wide
Beyond the borders of their hometown or their home countryside
The praises of the wealthy and the famous many do like to sing
And that many good people are forgotten in death does seem such a sad thing
But it will not matter to you when you are dead
If nice things about you are written and said
For the dead past all feeling and every care
And in death the deceased pauper becomes equal to the deceased billionaire
And it will not matter to you when the life's breath from you has gone
If you are forgotten or your name does live on.
