I can't talk with people after they die
But I have talked with people before they die
And I carry that conversation with me
An echo in my head that will always be
They can't say anything new
I don't know everything they knew
But I do sometimes hear their word in a new light
A recollection that makes a memory shine extra bright
If I share their word further, maybe it'll outlive me too
An echo of an echo so powerful it will still echo through
I can think of no greater tribute to someone's word
Than to allow their message to continue to be heard
