After My Time

When I am gone
Bury my bones
Deep in the ground
Pray I will find
Some peace of mind
After my time
You ask who I am
I was just like you
Living day by day
That used to be true
Now it’s time to go
And I ain’t coming back
I can see despair in your eyes
But please don’t turn away
Driven away
My brother and I
Broken by war
I had to watch him die
I have seen it all
And here’s what I’ve got to say
I can see the hope in your eyes
So please don’t turn away
Sit for a while
Make me feel safe
Let us pretend
That there is a place
Far away from here
And this is not the end
I can see the tears in your eyes
But please don’t turn away
