Lyrics And When I Die - Blood, Sweat & Tears

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
And if dying time is near, just bundle up my coffin
'Cause it′s cold way down there
I hear that 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
In this world to carry on, to carry on

Now 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 I pray there ain't no hell
But I'll never know by living, only my dying will tell
Yes, 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
In this world to carry on, to carry on, yeah yeah

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
Oh, I want to go naturally

Here I go, hey hey
Here comes the devil right behind
Look out children
Here he comes, here he comes, hey

Don't want to go by the devil
Don′t want to go by 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 dead, dead and gone
There′ll be one child born
In our world to carry on, to carry on, yeah yeah
