DEATH WISH
DEATH WISH
When hope is gone
My future slowly fading away
Tears singing a victory song
Feeling like I am wrestling with a tornado
Doors being closed, not opening again
Prayers not giving hope anymore in my life
When the world has taken away all it’s belongings
Death calling my name
Feeling powerless
Have lost the battle to stay alive
When I look ahead I see angels and light
When I look at the back I see tears and darkness
When my soul is leaving my body
Please promise not to forget me when I am gone
Promise not to let my name follow me when I am gone
I want my name to live forever in your lives
I want my name to always bring happiness in your lives
I want my name to bring peace in your hearts
I shed so many tears in this life
Please don’t send me away with tears
One thing that I needed in my life was happiness
If you can be happy on my last day
Light and happiness will be promised to me in heaven
