About trying to live forever

Writing songs for my new cd...I play all my own instruments, do my own vocals, produce and engineer.
I am just a hobbyist, creating music in a vacuum as an answer to the ultimate zen riddle. I play all my own instruments, do all my own vocals, write all music and lyrics, and arrange, engineer and produce my own tracks in my home studio.

Story behind the song
From the perspective of a dying man, trying to leave something to last forever and comfort those left behind
Lyrics
My Name In The Sand I wanna write my name in the sand, and have it stay forever Digging out each letter with my hand Be read by whoever Walks past the place where I tried To extend this crazy short ride Instead of my life getting washed away By the very next wave Chorus: Say you love me and then try hard not to cry As long as I'm in your heart I will never die Walk by the water with me and I will take your hand And if you look hard you might see my name in the sand I wanna carve my name in a tree so I can live forever Gonna make it big enough to see That I was really clever I was here, that's what I'd say Even if it was only for a day The moss makes sure that it'll be obscure but underneath it will endure Chorus: Say you love me and then try hard not to cry As long as I'm in your heart I will never die Walk by the water with me and I will take your hand And if you look hard you might see my name in the sand Bridge: When I'm part of how the grass grows You'll hear my song when the wind blows And I'll live on in the ears of those who can still hear me I wanna paint my name on a wall To be admired whenever The leaves of autumn start to fall And there's a change of weather You would see my name and smile And that would make my life worthwhile Then I could live inside your mind If you were so inclined
