IF I DIE TOMORROW

Morning

The sun warms my skin

And it makes me feel

Like I could throw it all away again.

 

Warm wind in my hair

A fresh breeze in the air

But it's not there for me to enjoy

So I just can't care

 

If I die tomorrow

Don't you cry for me

Take the day off and sit in the sun

And laugh because I'm free.

 

Evening

Too many memories come at night.

No one to share them with

No one to touch

 

The room rings with silence

Past achievements gather dust

So many self-inscribed trophies...

What do they matter?

 

If I die tomorrow

Don't you cry for me

Take the day off and sit in the sun

And laugh because I'm free.

 

Freedom

You know it's all I want

Just to exist

Take some time to enjoy life

 

It's too bad that man must be machinery

Whose only purpose is to oil itself

Man is not perpetual motion

And machines never cry.....

 

Sometimes it's so damned hard to see

Just what's left around here to be.

The sun still shines, maybe an answer's there.....

Kind of find it hard to care.....

 

All the things I'll never see

All the things I'll never know

All the things I'll never be

All the things I'll never show

 

But these are speculations and as such, useless

And failure's just a state of mind, right?

 

But if I die tomorrow,

Don't you cry for me

Take the day off and sit in the sun

And laugh because I'm free.
