as i so often do
and when i awoke
i was sure it was true
i ran to the window
threw my head to the sky
and said whoever is up there
please don't let me die
but i can't live forever
i can't always be
one day i'll be sand
on a beach by the sea
the pages keep turning
i'll mark off each day with a cross
and i'll laugh about all that we've lost.
