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 is 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
