When I die
When I die
when my coffin is being taken out
you must never think
I am missing this world
don’t shed any tears
don’t lament
or feel sorry
i’m not falling
into a monster’s abyss
when you see my corpse is being carried
don't cry for my leaving
i'm not leaving
i'm arriving at eternal love
when you leave me in the grave
don’t say goodbye
remember a grave is
only a curtain
for the paradise behind
you’ll only see me descending
into a grave
now watch me rise
how can there be an end
when the sun sets
or the moon goes down
it looks like the end
it seems like a sunset
but in reality it is a dawn
when the grave locks you up
that is when your soul is freed
have you ever seen a seed fallen to earth
not rise with a new life
why should you doubt the rise
of a seed named human
have you ever seen a bucket
lowered into a well
coming back empty
why lament for a soul
when it can come back
like Joseph from the well
when for the last time
you close your mouth
your words and soul
will belong to the world
of no place no time
