Before I Die
If I shall SING before I die
let it not be of STRIFE AND HATE
for too much of THIS my eyes have seen
Maybe one day this world won't seem so mean
Let me SING of peace and happiness
instead of hate and selfishness
If I shall SING before I die
Let it not be of a dreadful disease that has taken over me
to many friends I have lost
went away their lives were tossed
Let me dream of FAITH from up above
and the perfect name of JESUS called love
If I shall SING before I die
let it not be of hunger and poverty
but of how to fight for democracy
while standing in the rain
I will always claim your name
Let me SING of heaven A PLACE called home
so I WILL NEVER be alone
