live on

Persist through time

Live on means to continue living, often despite hardship or after others have died: She lived on for twenty years after her husband passed.

It also means to subsist on something as a primary source of nourishment or income: He lives on ramen and coffee, They live on a fixed income.

A memory, legacy, or idea lives on when it persists beyond its origin: Her music will live on forever.
