When Death Comes MAG
When death comes
Like sweat falling into an open wound
When death comes and takes every dream you've ever slept upon
By shaking you until you can't control yourself;
When death comes like a fever infusing your body;
When death comes
Like a grain of sand stuck in the eye
I want to step through the burning coals wondering what I have in store.
And therefore I look upon everything
As a polished antique;
And I look upon time as nothing more but a speed limit
And I consider imagination as another cracked window
And I think of each cloud as a magic carpet,
Wanting to take me away and show me
That I have nothing to fear –
Not even death
And each tear as hopeful as a baby learning to walk
And each smile as giving as the woman handing her last dollar
To the homeless man
When it's over, I want to say; every waking day
I was a princess born to happiness.
I was a prince praised for courage.
When it's over I don't want to regret much or cry myself to sleep.
I don't want to look at myself in the mirror eclipsed with pain and guilt
I don't want to be sorry for living a boring and careful life
