How do you want to be remembered? As a sinner or a saint? As a hero or a villain? Think about the steps you take How do you want to be remembered When they're standing at your grave? On your tombstone, what is written? Think about the steps you take All my life I've been searching for the answers How did I lose so much Of the things that really matter?

As a hero or a villain? Think about the steps you take How do you want to be remembered When your children come to aid And they need some inspiration?

Do I pray above (Do I pray above) Only when I feel I'm needing? See, I can't sleep at night When sheep turn into demons There's no alibi When the jury knows your secret So I ask myself How do you want to be remembered? As a sinner or a saint?

You love, love, love, oh How do you want to be remembered? As a sinner or a saint? As a hero or a villain?
