A few feet under....
So happy I am now, with glory all around,
Hope for the future, desire for money and to be where I always wanted to be,
But Oh! What just happened? Did I just have an accident!
And as I lay here on the stretcher I think, this is nothing I will be up and running.
But now what I see, two death angels on top of me,
No! No! I cry, this is not where I should be,
Oh please look away, tell me you are not here for me!
I wish I could scream, go away it’s not yet time for me!
With my eyes falling numb, my hands turning cold,
And Oh the pain is unbearable I can explain no more,
My feet are cramping with my body just tarnishing,
And so helpless I feel, with no energy to move my hands or feet.
And then I hear people scream and cry,
Oh what just happened? Did I just die?
Please don’t close my eyes,
I need to say good-bye!
Here I am now, at the home that I grew in,
Two ladies bathing me but I am not familiar with,
All wrapped up I am now in a white sheet,
And now they are carrying me somewhere I never thought I would be.
Where I enter now, I should have been before,
People offering prayer now for me,
I think this will just spare me,
I wish I had spent some time here when my parents advised me.
I am now lifted up in the air, with four men, one on each side,
Please walk slow I don’t want to be there,
Oh what is this place, so dusty and sandy,
And few men digging a hole, Is this where they will put me?
I lay here a few feet under the world completely shut for me,
They did not even think about keeping me until wee,
I bang on the sides, and scream but no one to listen me,
It was never the case before and I was so full of energy.
My grave starts to shrink now, with ribs twisting apart,
Oh it’s hurting I shout and cry aloud,
Take me out from here I want to breathe,
Oh mom you were always helping me, look what just happened to me.
I thought the world would end without me,
But oh what do I see,
People did not even cry a few days for me!
I wish I had known before so that hell was not for me.
Hope for the future, desire for money and to be where I always wanted to be,
But Oh! What just happened? Did I just have an accident!
And as I lay here on the stretcher I think, this is nothing I will be up and running.
But now what I see, two death angels on top of me,
No! No! I cry, this is not where I should be,
Oh please look away, tell me you are not here for me!
I wish I could scream, go away it’s not yet time for me!
With my eyes falling numb, my hands turning cold,
And Oh the pain is unbearable I can explain no more,
My feet are cramping with my body just tarnishing,
And so helpless I feel, with no energy to move my hands or feet.
And then I hear people scream and cry,
