Before I Die Ill Leave My Words Behind

If I leave my words behind will you look for me
I’ve been gone long I had to be free
So I wrote my heart in a song
My thoughts written with a pen this is no caper
Everything from within my soul is now on paper

Look for the message it’s hard to find
Before I die I’ll leave my words behind

Will you understand each word
Can you read between each line
Do you think it’s absurd
Can you read into the rhyme
 
Look for the message it’s hard to find
Before I die I’ll leave my words behind

Do you get the translation
The meaning is there
Don’t listen with frustration
Just open your ear

Look for the message it’s hard to find
Before I die I’ll leave my words behind

Will the song freeze you to speak
Does it get your vote
Will the idea make you weak
Will you hang on every note

Look for the message it’s hard to find
Before I die I’ll leave my words behind

Will it make you drop to your knees
Sing it out and make you cry
My music makes you feel at ease
I’ll live forever in your minds eye

yeah it is good to leave behind enlightening words instead of porn pictures or porn wording on body parts..at least some things remaining will be worthy to look at or read

Is this a compliment or a complaint?
