A Better Life Ahead

A better life ahead
Today I could be dead
In the ground somewhere
Breathing with no air
Thank you, to God I’m saying
And every night I’m praying
That I’m on the right away
To see another day
Amen, when I’m done
I think life should be fun
Even though it’s short, we said
“I pray to God to have
A better life ahead”
