Selfish Cry At Death
"Grief exist in thoughts.
With a shift in thoughts they end"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When someone close dies we cry
How will I live without that person
Thinking so our tears never dry
We praise his goodness he was such a good person
How will I live without that person
Our selfish mind is thinking
We praise his goodness he was such a good person
If only we would stop thinking
Our selfish mind is thinking
Only about our loss
If only we would stop thinking
About self and our loss
Only about our loss
Forgetting the dead person
About self and our loss
Not a thought of dead person
Forgetting the dead person
Can do wonders to our mind
Not a though of dead person
Can erase grief from mind
Can do wonders to our mind
If we think how dead persons suffering ended
Can erase grief from mind
If we think how without more suffering his life ended
If we think how dead persons suffering ended
We will rejoice on death
If we think how without more suffering his life ended
We will be happy on death
We will rejoice on death
If we loved the one who died
We will be happy on death
If we selflessly thought only about one who died
If we loved the one who died
We will never shed a tear
If we selflessly thought only about one who died
we will never shed a tear
We will never shed a tear
For death marks the end of pain
We will never shed a tear
For our loved one is now without pain
For death marks the end of pain
We will thank God for it
For our loved one is now without pain
We will be grateful to God for it.
We think only of ourselves
Thinking so our tears never dry
Since we worry about ourselves
When someone close dies we cry
