My Song: And Then You Die

And Then You Die(c) 2006 Ahmed Arsalan
by A. Arsalan


All the money that you saved
All the paths that you paved
All those tears that you cried
All the passion and pride

And then you die

All the plans that you made
All those fancy charades
Scared that your star might fade
Struggling to find a worthy mate

And then you die

[CHORUS begin]
What will you do
When you know
One day you're gonna die

What will you say
To your Lord
Why you couldn't try
To be better

What will it take
For you to realize
That time is flying by

What will it take
For you to know
That any day
You're gonna die
[CHORUS end]

And when you die
Will it make you cry
Will it, then, make you see
The true reality

All the places you love
All the memories you make
All those pictures that you take
Running a never-ending race

And then you die

Planning your way through and through
Bending and breaking every rule
Trying so hard to be cool
Striving to live life to the full

And then you die

[Repeat CHORUS til fade]
