A famous man died today.
He was the same age as me,
But he made something of himself,
And I only made it to here.
A famous man died today.
In time his fame will fade
Until in the end
He will be no more famous than I.
A famous man died today.
He fought the good fight
Helped change the world,
A famous man died today.
Used to be he would have went
To join the majority,
But today the majority lives.
A famous man died today.
Every day men die
And except for friend and family
We seldom note their passing.
But a famous man died today,
And the flags are at half mast.
His passing mourned by more
Then our passing will be mourned.
A famous man died today,
But I say, “let us rejoice”
Instead of mourning, for we all are
As the dew on the morning grass.
