When I die, when I pass away
I hope that somewhere deep inside you build a place for me
I hope I helped you to feel better 'bout yourself, better 'bout yourself
When I’m gone, when I’ve met the earth
I hope the fire I built inside of you since childbirth
It keeps you warm, it keeps you warm
When I die make me a tree
You could rest beneath my leaves
Use my arms to hang a swing on for your children
Let my colors mark the season
Let my spirit give you reason
To keep living like you mean it
Yeah to keep on keepin' on
While you’re young
Make the best of life
Don’t get all hung up on the questions of the afterlife
For heaven's sake, live for today
And when you’re older
When your body aches
Make sure to get out of your head and try to misbehave
It keeps you young
It keeps you young
But I don’t want to die
If it means leaving my family behind
If it means I really have to say goodbye
I don’t wanna die
