Fearless  people,  careless  needle
Harsh  words spoken,  and  lives are broken
Forceful  ageing,  help  me I’m fading
Heaven’s  waiting,  it’s  time to move on

Crossing  that bridge,  with lessons
I’ve  learned
 Playing with fire,  and not getting
burned
 I may not know  what you’re going  through
 But time is the  space between me and  you
Life  carries on

 DO VERSE
 Just say die, and that would be pessimistic
 In your mind, we can walk across water
 Please don’t cry, it’s just a prayer for the dying
 I just don’t know what’s got into me

Hold  on say yes, while  people say no
