One day Death came knocking on my door
But I was not ready for death
Please go knock on someone else’s door I yelled
As I struggled to take another breath
It was then that I had made up my mind,
fight like hell
Because I was not ready to leave everything behind
As I eventually pulled myself from the smoky car
Strangers quickly became caretakers that caught my fall
And I was not afraid anymore
Because Death had simply checked in on me then moved along

As I eventually pulled myself from the smoky car
Strangers quickly became caretakers that caught my fall
