LYRICS:
‘When I Die’ -- words and music by Beth Wimmer, 2017

where am i gonna go to when i die?
will i even know i'm not alive
can i meet my brother, will i miss my cats
will i even think of other souls like that

the beauty of this life lies in impermanence
but i love the things i love wishin we'd forever stay
most times i don't think about my death but when i do
it's not the dying part that scares me it's the unknown without you

so where am i gonna go to when i die
will i even know i'm not alive
can i take you with me far away and free
heaven bound where we can be the perfect you and me

some folks who i love died before my very eyes
left a body lying lifeless and i saw the spirit rise
i followed that light right up to these shiny gates
but when i tried to join the party something there said i should wait

but i hope i can go there when i die…

hey i know life is for the living
and lucky we can do it well
half the world's a living hell
we're alive, our days have meaning
but if you're leaving soon i'm going with you

where am i gonna go to when i die
where am i gonna go to when i die
where am i gonna go to when i die
