Young boy why do you wish to end it today?
please dont i want to see you tomrrow as a young man,
people love you even when you feel alone

young man why do you wish to end it today?
you are so handsome so talented why throw it away?
you have a young lover searching to find you she will never know you
if you end it now

Middle age man why do you wish to end it today?
You have a wife and child waiting at home
what will she tell her son when you are gone?
is this what you want to be remembered for?

Old man why do you wish to end it today?
you have been here with me all these years
i cannot not bear to live without you now
stay a little while longer wait for me honey

few months go by
I lay my old frame next to his i grab his hand
We close our eyes we wispher our last lullably
I say my last prayer to the night

He waited for me through his sorrow and pain he waited
Though he was older and more frail he kept holding on
Together we left this world
To a place you feel no pain, no heartache
But peace

Our work is finished

I do not need shine or wealth, just a pen and some paper for my health

Where your heart lays is where you belong.
