When I Die
When I die-
Let the earth split in two,
Let the animals scream as one,
Let the birds cease their songs,
So that my passing may be marked.
When I die-
Let the sky rend itself,
Let the thunder shout in grief,
Let the clouds shed their tears,
So that my passing may be mourned.
When I die-
Let a wail go up among the people,
Let the music of life falter,
Let pain stab the hearts of all,
So that my passing may be felt.
When I die-
Let my work live on,
Let my legacy be lived,
Let my heirlooms be passed down,
So that my life may be worth something.
