You can shed tears that he is gone 
     Or you can smile because he lived.
You can close your eyes and pray he'll come back
     Or you can open your eyes and see all that he left you. 
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
     Or your heart can be full of love he shared. 
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live for yesterday
     Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. 
You can remember him and only that he's gone
     Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on. 
You can cry and close your eyes, be empty and turn your back
     Or you can do what he'd want -- 
SMILE, OPEN YOUR EYES, LOVE AND GO ON.
