 IF I DIE
 ????????????????????????????
 writtten by Peter Hoorelbeke
 
Rain  is falling  on my head,
pretty  soon I might  be dead.
The  end is here, Lord,  it's plain to see
I  guess my country's made a fool  of me.
If  I die, please  make sure,
 Someone  will bring  me home.
If  I die,  tomorrow,
 Someone  will be  all alone.
 Family's children standin' by,
 Mother finds it hard not to cry.
 A look of sadness on their face,
 Tryin' hard not to show a trace.
 One last question before I go,
 One last answer I must know.
 Tomorrow morning I'll be alone,
 Can you tell me why I can't be home?
 I don't wanna die, but if I die...
