If I die young
Lower me into the ground with care
My soul should have left the body by then
But the limbs that guarded me
And the shoulders that made my spine up righted
in self-righteous confidence
Will be honored even in death
If I die young
Check my internals to see if my heart still breathes
and my lungs still expand like the flutter of a butterfly's first flight
My life has ended
But my heart still breathes
Maybe for someone, hanging on the brink of death
If I die young
Wipe my family's tears with a song
I'm in a better place now
I'm in my Lord's arms, rocked by the never-ending lullaby into sleep
Tell my family, that life less body they saw
that's not me, it has never been me
The me had always been cocooned, only for Allah to see
If I die young
Look up at the sky tonight
and say a little prayer for me
We'll meet again soon, very soon
In the eternal bliss of sunshine.
