If I die before I wake
My naked soul lives on
If I die before I'm known
I hope I touched someone
If I lay myself to rest
I hope I did this right
If I don't live another day
I hope I've lived it right
Tell my father he's the man
If I die
Tell my mother she's the one
If I die
Tell my sister that she's fine
If I die
And my brothers make me proud
If I die
And if I made you feel wronged
I hope you know I'm sorry
And if I made you feel loved
I loved you like nobody
If I die and disappear
Spill a gold scotch for me
If I break my body down
Leave white flowers for me
If I never make it up
I hope this song's enough
If I lost my way around
Put my body in the ground
If the world took me away
I would have liked to stay
If I go before I'm old
Carve my name up in stone
Tell my father he's the man
If I die
Tell my mother she's the one
If I die
Tell my sister that she's fine
If I die
And my brothers make me proud
If I die
