Chorus / Description :
Did you stand or did you fall?
Build a bridge or build a wall
Hide your love or give it all
What did you do?
What did you do?
When it all comes down
It ain't if, it's how they remember you
Sprayed my name on a water tower
Carved it in an old cottonwood tree
Signed a bunch?of?high school yearbooks
So?they wouldn't forget about me
It wasn't?till I saw my daddy's name in stone I knew
It?ain't?a?question of if?they will
It's how?they remember you
Did you stand or did you fall?
Build a bridge or build a wall
Hide your love or give it all
What did you do?
What did you do?
Did you make 'em laugh or make 'em cry?
Did you quit or did you try?
Live your dreams or let 'em die
What did you choose?
What did you choose?
When it all comes down
It ain't if, it's how they remember you
When you're down to your last dollar
Will you give or will you take?
When the stiff wind blows the hardest
Will you bend or will you break? (will you break?)
You're gonna leave a legacy, no matter what you do
It ain't a question of if they will
It's how they remember you
Did you stand or did you fall?
Build a bridge or build a wall
Hide your love or give it all
What did you do?
What did you do?
Did you make 'em laugh or make 'em cry?
Did you quit or did you try?
Live your dreams or let 'em die
What did you choose?
What did you choose?
When it all comes down
It ain't if, it's how they remember you
Did you make 'em laugh or make 'em cry?
Did you quit or did you try?
Live your dreams or let 'em die
What did you choose? (what did you choose?)
Oh, when it all comes down
It ain't if, it's how they remember you
(How they, how they remember)
(How they, how they remember)
(How they, how they remember) How they remember
(How they, how they remember)
(How they, how they remember) Whoa
(How they, how they remember)
(How they, how they remember) How they remember
(How they, how they remember) How they remember you
A `good' name is rather to be chosen than great riches, `And' loving favor rather than silver and gold.
The memory of the righteous is blessed; But the name of the wicked shall rot.
A `good' name is better than precious oil; and the day of death, than the day of one's birth.
A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children; And the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous.
