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.
