If I Die

If I die before tomorrow It will somehow be alright For tonight I have seen the stars The womb from which we came forth I have seen them shining bright As they drift in the summer night The seasons I have also seen Flowers springing from frozen earth Cool meadows turning golden I have witnessed natures ways Where the dead are respected And in death is the promise of life If I die before tomorrow It will somehow be alright
