I’m lying on my death bed
By now everything has been said
All the accounts have been bled
And the hope couldn’t have stayed
My departure has only been delayed
But I’ve had my share of getting laid
Wish I felt the same about getting paid
As I near my last breath
I have to say I’m scared of death
I could even say I’m scared to death
But it’s a bad joke when you’re this close to your last breath
The irony is I always had a sheath
And yet I fall, cutting short my life’s length
There are many ways to die, or so they say
Many ways to not see another day
You know I wish my fate could sway
But it’s time we let go, for peace we should now pray
I’m done being death’s prey
There’s no point for any more delay
Though I hope there’s a replay
Another chapter, another day
Another script, another play
Another chance to do it my way
Another life, to do things in a better way
But if there isn’t , I’ll still be okay
After all I’m already on my way
I can feel my soul sneaking away
As the life in me seeps away each day
I know this is hard but it’s the only way
I gotta go away
Though I hate to leave you this way
Promise me you’ll try to be okay
I know I’m strong too so I’ll be okay
But when I’m gone, promise me you’ll be okay
Promise you’ll say a few prayers and send them my way
If I make it through the gate, I’ll send a few too your way
I’ll always think of you even if I’m far away
I’ll always hope you have a brighter day
Coz when you’re alive, there’s always a brighter day
Also remember to always send a few smiles my way
