lyrics

if i died today at the prime of my youth
what would they say?
what would they do?
if i died today will i learn the truth?
would my love stray?
would she stay true?

do not cry this day
cherish the memories
if i could i would stay
but that's not up to me
if you cry this day
wipe the tears and breathe
i may have gone away
let me go in peace

tell my father
i tried to make him proud
tell my mother
her prayers kept me sound
tell my sisters
and tell my brothers too
it's gonna be alright
the lord is here with you

tell my father
i tried to make him proud
tell my mother
her prayers kept me sound
tell my sisters
and tell my brothers too
it's gonna be alright
the lord is here with you
