Desperately Alive

I'm thinkin of a day
 maybe somewhat far away
 where the world I know and the ones I live sit 6 feet over me
 but I cannot be afraid
 at least that's what they say
 so I stand up tall and strong and fierce to face my destiny
 but I begin to run away
 I'm searching for a place
 a place I can escape
 to hide inside and stay alive just to die another day
 like me they're just like me
 running, running
 I'm thinkin of a girl
 my only in the world
 she's got a certain secret melody she sings that I adore
 she says she's not afraid
 but as her youth start to fade
 I think her strength and faith will go and fear will take their place
 but she swears that she's not afraid
 what I want to evade
 she hopes to embrace
 but no matter how we think we've all got one foot in the grave
 like me she's just like me
 running, running
 she must be just like me
 running, running
 I'm thinking of you
 I'm thinking of you
 cus you seem so sure and tried and true though your time is coming soon
 the doctor's work is through
 he's done all that he can do
 he leaves the room and says to me I'll leave her here with you
 her eyes shine as she says to me
 I'm not afraid of the other side
 my eyes will be opened wide
 I'm not sure what's to come but if I can when I'm done I'll be waiting when you die.
