Billy Childs - And When I Die lyrics

And when I die and when I'm dead, dead and gone There'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on I'm not scared of dying and I don't really care If it's peace you find in dying, well, then let the time be near If it's peace you find in dying, when dying time is here Just bundle up my coffin 'cause it's cold way down there I hear that's it's cold way down there, yeah, crazy cold way down there And when I die and when I'm gone There'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on My troubles are many, they're as deep as a well I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell Swear there ain't no heaven and pray there ain't no hell But I'll never know by living, only my dying will tell Only my dying will tell, yeah, only my dying will tell And when I die and when I'm gone There'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on Give me my freedom for as long as I be All I ask of living is to have no chains on me All I ask of living is to have no chains on me And all I ask of dying is to go naturally, only want to go naturally Don't want to go by the devil, don't want to go by the demon Don't want to go by Satan, don't want to die uneasy Just let me go naturally And when I die and when I'm gone There'll be one child born, there'll be one child born When I die There'll be one child born When I die There'll be one child born When I die There'll be one child born When I die There'll be one child born When I die There'll be one child born
