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.
