When I die young
     don't say I was strong till the end
     don't say it took me by surprise
Tell them I was always weak
     I was always frail
    but I saw it coming and I was prepared
I'm no palm reader but I do read palms
    I knew that I would die while still young
    I met my faith and so I'll tell you
I watched the world through God's eyes
    I saw its beauty
    I heard its songs
And so I wasn't scared to die young
