What are you waiting for?
DEATH
Death is something we try not to think about, but is there from the start
from the time we first open our eyes, we are on that road to depart
Some people live there lives and try to make a mark, and some just try to survive
no matter what you do, you’ll never make it out alive
Death, it's the great equalizer of men
it doesn't matter how rich you are, who you know, or where you've been
when the angel of death knocks on your door
you can't hide and you can't ignore
Some people believe that death is a passing to a new life
that when you close your eyes for the last time, you just look for the light
there are those that think that there is no journey to start
that when you close your eyes for the last time, there is nothing but dark
The meaning of life is death
it's the one and only thing everyone will do from their first to their last breath
forget all the gray in-between
forget about taxes, learning, loving, forget about everything
You can't take anything with you and you don’t really leave anything behind
the only thing that stays is the memory you leave in people's minds
but even memories will fade away into the past
because nothing last forever, and forever never last
Death really is the final frontier
No one knows what happens when moving from here to there
It's a mystery and that's a fact
no one's ever been all the way there and come all the way back
I hope there's someplace to go on this trip we all have to take
I prey that there is another side for our soul's sake
I'm sure that when it's my time it won't make a mark
I'm sure that when I close my eyes for the last time, all I will see is . . .
