| If I Died Tonight How many of you Whose eyes shine with light Would celebrate life If I died tonight? And if when I go The candles burn out Would it be the wind Or my spirit gone out? And if passing by I breath on your face Will you shudder in horror Then memory erase? What if, upon leaving, I turn back around Could I with new power Drive you all to the ground? Could terrified nightmares Follow eachother Because of the death Early death of your brother? Would I be permitted To descend with the rain And ensure you know peace No, never again? How many of you (While your eyes shine with light) Would pray for the death If I died tonight? 2/20/03 5:13 AM |
