than the promises of youth.
The sun I'm seeking's hidden by
the clouds of my life's truth.

I may not have that much to give
but you can have all that I am.
I look up and He looks down,

and His message is so true.
All I need is you to pray to me,
and I promise to pray for you.

this is how I want to die.
this is how I want to die.
