One To Follow

I'm looking at a number, that grows smaller everyday
I'm turning with the pages, and there's something left to say

Always, ever I am reaching
Living, learning as I'm teaching
Giving, everything is all for you

Just one link in the chain of life, is all we can hope to be
The way a man's remembered, let honor be your legacy

Always, ever to remember
Living, not a dying ember
Giving, hope that you will light the fire

One to follow, there to lead when I am done
One will follow, stay the course for everyone

Just hold to what is tried and true, it will always see you through
And keep it all inside you, it's the treasure you must pursue

Do the right, turn back the night
Keep the faith, the goal's in sight
Face it down, and never bend
Bow your pride, and always be a friend

You will follow, heir to lead when I am done
One must follow, stay the course for everyone
(You will) follow....'
