Salvation
Why do we fight to stay alive
This unconscious act onward we strive
Faced with death we fight
Out of fear and fright
Having prayed each and every day
To be with God in every way
But when it comes time
Its so unfair a mortal crime
Its not my time we scream
Thinking up and escape scheme
Into the mirror we see the terror in our eye
Why me the pathetic cry
So if you have this one more day
Make some use and earn your pay
All the money and material things
Can't buy what salvation brings
