lyrics

Faded away like the stars in the morning,
Losing their light in the glorious sun
Thus would we pass from this earth and its toiling,
Only remembered for what we have done.

Only remembered, only remembered,
Only remembered for what we have done;
Thus would we pass from this earth and its toiling,
Only remembered for what we have done.

Horses and men, plowshares and traces,
The line on the land and the light of the sun.
Season by season we mark nature's graces.
Only remembered for what we have done.

Only remembered, only remembered,
Only remembered for what we have done;
Season by season we mark nature's graces.
Only remembered for what we have done.

Only the truth that in life we have spoken,
Only the seeds that in life we have sown:
These will pass onwards when we are forgotten -
Only remembered for what we have done.

Who'll sing the anthems and who'll tell the story?
Will the line hold, will it scatter and run?
Shall we at last be united in glory -
Only remembered for what we have done?

Only remembered, only remembered,
Only remembered for what we have done;
Shall we at last be united in glory,
Only remembered for what we have done?

This is the Winter
by Yearbook Committee

A folk supergroup from my home town of Terre Haute, IN. Feel-good and poignant, their music has been heard all over the United States, including at SXSW. Great people, great music. Eli Van Sickel
