Death don’t hesitate
Please come and do your job
Don’t let this woman suffer
More than she’s already done
Death don’t make us wait
Let the struggle please be over
We’re not in peace but have accepted
This is all we got
One evening some time ago
I sort of begged you to take her with you
You didn’t come then and let her be
Please come and do it now
Slowly slowly very slowly
Weaker every day
That’s how death has figured
To finally take you away
I can’t believe my eyes
I can’t believe my heart
To my relief and to my surprise
She didn’t wake up this morning
She’s still breathing
Her mouth dried out
But as far as I can see
She isn’t thirsty anymore
Lordy lord let it be
She’s ready for take off
On her trip to eternity
I hope she won’t be back nomore
It wasn’t enough when this started
She didn’t know why but she wanted some more
But now that all her power’s gone
She is ready to go
