“When I Die”


When I die,
I want no one to cry.

When I die,
I want no one to mourn.

When I die,
I’ll be reborn
In a city above the sky,
Smiling down at you all.

When I die,
I want no one feeling guilty.

When I die,
I want no one asking why.

When I die,
I just want you all to try
To live together as one—
Under me—
Under the sun.
