Tomorrow When I Die

Tomorrow when I die
the birds won't stop singing 
the world won't stop spinning
for tomorrow when i die
kids won't read my stories
for I am not a hero nor notorious
for tomorrow when I die
my life won't be celebrated 
I won't be remembered
for tomorrow before I die
forgive this fool my princess 
an angel in the land of queens
for tomorrow when i die
find room in your heart for me
and shed a tear for me
for tomorrow when I die
my words will be of no worth
i will be wrapped in a loin cloth
and burned to the ground
ashes and bones remain at days end
for tomorrow when I die
nothing would have changed
stories like mine will begin and end
for tomorrow when I die
if you remember this brat 
I will live forever in your heart
