Shall I Die---
SHALL I DIE---
My age is daunting yes
I've live beyond my peers
Yet
Shall I die, shall I die;
I've been born, birth into sin;
Yes, I've did my dirt, I'm shamed;
Shall I die, shall I die
My parents both of them
Died of cancer
Shall I die
I've hid my hat and gloves
In the mailbox
In dead winter storms
Coat unzipped no boots on
Feet got wet should gotten ammonia or flu
Slip and fell on ice hit my head
Oh, I cried
Shall I die
Did I mention
That I am a sinner
Yet, I'm forgiven
I've repented, saved by grace
I am a product of the first disobedience
Yet I live I survived
Not ready to leave my earthy family yet
Did I mention
That I am a sinner
Yet, I'm forgiven
I've repented, saved by grace
I am a product of the first disobedience
I've been born, birth into sin;
Yes, I've did my dirt, I'm shamed;
Left physically alone
Marriage dissolved by death
Now I'm a widower, yet...
As I spy...
Shall I die
