The world is quick and unforgiving,
The seas are rough with many lost;
I've tried my best to keep on living
But I know I'll be a ghost, someday.
I know someday, my breath will leave,
The things I touch will never know it;
And all my loved ones left will grieve
But I know I'll be a ghost someday.
Try to remember only the good,
Though we must think it calamity:
A man does only what he could
Still to be a ghost, someday.
