DEAD BUT ALIVE
DEAD BUT ALIVE
I can hear a voice
It sounds like that of my creator
Mother earth is calling
I have to respond now
I ought to submit to my creator
I knew I wouldn't live for ever,
But never knew the time will be too short, and now it's time, the hour is here
Dear friend
When you get home please..
Tell the children I'm still around
Tell the woman that her man is not far away
Tell Mum his son is coming back
Dad have waited soo long, I've to go n' meet him there
Then tell the world never to miss me
Mother nature is blaring, I've to leave no
I will leave my mansion to live in a muddy ground
When you lay my body to rest,
Bury me with a seed in my hand
The flesh I spent soo much wealth on, will decay
Rain will fall on my remains
Sun will shine on my remains
I will sprout roots, I will grow big
Then I'll be back to life in another form, Life is Life
Good night now
Tell the world I will be right back
