When you left

[Intro]
We fear death, because we are born knowing only life
I get that, I take another view
Because I've been asked, if you could live forever would you?
The way I look at it is, it is the knowledge that I am going to die that creates the focus, that I bring to being alive
The urgency of accomplishment, the need to express love "now, not later" if we live forever, why ever even get out of the bed in the morning, because you always have tomorrow
That's not the kind of life I wanna lead
Don't you fear not being around?
I fear living a life where I could have accomplished something but I didn't

Remember when we used to be kids, yeah
We were stuck up in our fun games, yeah
Now I'm getting older and I fuckin' see
I'ma die soon and I really can't fuckin' wait
I think that I've done my job here
I gave you a card, you didn't need it
Stuck up in the day [?]
On cloud 9 but she's gone and I ain't nothin', yeah
I'll never be nothin' without you by my side
I'll die, I don't feel it

[Outro]
On my tombstone a quote from Horace Mann a great educator, "Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity."
