This song I have slowly written since I heard about Monty Oum's passing. It filled me with grief, and in the quiet moments, it still does. Someone with such passion, such love and joy, only comes once in a generation... if you're lucky. In the darkest of moments, his work and his humanity has carried many through bleak times. So, before you do die, make sure you pass the meaning on, carry the beacon and light the signal. Don't let his flame flicker and fade.

Our time is short
But our dreams will rise
Our spirits soar
Right Through the skies
Life is short
But if we try
We too will fly
In time

Just don't forget
Those who have been
Touched your heart
Broadened your dreams
For these are the people
Whose souls they have give
So now we must pass on these things
While we still live

Don't forget their love
Never let them go
As the pain turns to memories and joy
Remember their love
So you don't just move on
Carry their spirits in your hearts
As the Beacon will glow

Our time is short
But our dreams will rise
Our spirits soar
Right Through the skies
Life is short
But if we try
We too will fly
To cloudy castles in the sky

To those who have passed
To those who remain
I sing this song to rekindle that flame
So we keep moving forward
Time and again
Passing their love through our skills

Because it doesn't matter
How many souls get touched
What matters is the profundity
Of that love
Be it a single one, or a million and more
To send our love to a heart
That way, their spirits live on

Our time is short
But our dreams will rise
Our spirits soar
Right Through the skies
Life is short
But if we try
We too will fly
We too will fly

Our time is short
But our dreams will rise
Our spirits soar
Right Through the skies
Life is short
But if we try
We too will fly
To join our friends in the end
