If I Die Today
If i die today
Take me up the mountain.
Bury me next to the wildflowers
Bury no one next to me
Sing "Seteng sediba "
Sing "Kanana"
For i have breathed , I have never lived, I've never felt alive
The mountain was the only thing that made sense
The only thing that took my pain away
If i die today
Don't cry
for you failed to love me while i was alive
You failed to me see my value, my worth
But i don't blame you
For i too know i am useless
If i die today...
Don't waste your energy, efforts and money
Trying to give me a decent burial
All i want is to be taken up the mountain
Where my soul always longed to be
Where peace is reality
Where serenity isn't a wish
My perfect view
How i always described it
If I die today take me up the mountain
Bury me next to the wildflowers
Bury no one next to me
Sing "seteng sediba "
Sing "kanana"
Because that's my perfect and beautiful world.
