I have thought I had learned lessons I'd been taught What can be said what is passing Take my picture I won't be back Hug me once goodbye and look me in the eye It feels it's just beginning Guess I'll know when I die
I have lived I have shifted but have I ever gived in What is the truth what is passion Burned at the woodpile release me to the wind Write me a poem that reminds me of the sky It looks warm to me Guess I'll know when I die
I have sung I have gone but what have I become Move on over angels I am coming I will stand for no one I will stand for nothing Judge me on a lie that will fall where I lie It looks bright to me Guess I'll know when I die
I have patience I have tasted but never turned the pages Let me go in peace let me go in anger I will go on my terms leave me like a stranger Listen to my heart beat it stops when I sigh It feels it's just beginning Guess I'll know when I die
