If you must wait

Wait for them here in my arms as I shake

If you must weep

Do it right here in my bed as I sleep

If you must mourn, my love

Mourn with the moon and the stars up above

If you must mourn

Don't do it alone

If you must leave

Leave as though fire burns under your feet

If you must speak

Speak every word as though it were unique

If you must die, sweetheart

Die knowing your life was my life's best part

If you must die

Remember your life

You are

You are

Oh, you are

You are

Oh

If you must fight

Fight with yourself and your thoughts in the night

If you must work

Work to leave some part of you on this earth

If you must live, darling one

Just live

Just live

Just live
