Caesar, Shirley - How Many Will Be Remembered Lyrics






A million unsung heroes over there and here at home
Who are sleeping in their graves, their names are unknown
The Lincoln, Kings, and Kennedys will all go down in history
But so will Hitler and little old Al Capone

It takes people, all kind of people to make a world, they say
We've got all kinds of people passing through this world today
We've got saints, sinners and losers and winners
The good old mes and yous
How many will be remembered? Just a few

How many will be remembered? Just a few
How many will be remembered? Just a few
When they start taking names for the hall of fame
And writing up the who's who
How many will be remembered? Just a few

I get a bad taste in my mouth every time I try to say
John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald and names like James Earl Ray
They're never to be forgotten, it seems
But they stick like coins in the minds of men
A hundred million years from today

But you know what?
It takes people, all kind of people to make a world, they say
They've got all kinds of people passing through this world today
We've got saints, sinners and losers and winners
The good old mes and yous
How many will be remembered? Just a few

How many will be remembered? Just a few
How many will be remembered? Just a few
When they start taking names for the hall of fame
And writing the who's who
How many will be remembered? Just a few

Can you tell me now?
How many will be remembered? Just a few
How many will be remembered? Just a few
When they start taking names for the hall of fame
And writing up the who's who
How many will be remembered? Just a few

How many will be remembered? Just a few
How many will be remembered? Just a few
When they start taking names for the hall of fame
And writing up the who's who
How many will be remembered? Just a few

    HOW MANY WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR SERVING GOD? THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVE ALL OVER THE WORLD, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT AFRAID TO PROCLAIM THE NAME OF JESUS. THEY WILL SALUTE THE CROSS AND GET GOD'S APPROVAL NOT MANS. THEY HAVE A CROWN AWAITING, NOT A MEDAL THAT WILL RUST AND DECAY.

    Nice gesture by Pastor Shirley Caesar on behalf of her native country, who at one time not long ago, treated African Americans as second class citizens. Forgiveness is redemption from hatred; I would hope that the Iraqi people can, one day soon, forgive our zealous former President Bush for overestimating what could be accomplished in invading and occupying that country. But Iraq will get reparations in some form from America. But there is a forgotten man in America. Who can remember?
