Death is a word we all have to fear
No-one knows until it is near
Because if I die before I awake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
Death is the end for what we know
But I don’t believe that this is so
I will be here for time on end
A feeling I have my old friends do send
Death is for certain there is no doubt
Where will we go and what’s it about
Will I be here to see my mistakes
Or was my life good and I have what it takes
Death is not permanent for what you believe
Not understandable for most to conceive
I think we’ll live on and come back here and there
Scary stories we all have to share
Death is ok I have once been told
This I’ll believe and will help me grow old
For it’s not what you fear or trouble to come
It’s how you live and the good you’ve done
