Why Should I Die?

Why should I die?
Why should I live?
Why should I die,
I have nothing to give?

In God's presence,
I will stand.
Without a present,
in my hand.

When should I die?
Today or tomorrow?
What will you feel?
Sad or sorrow?

Will you wake me,
from my sleep?
Will you wake me,
for me to keep?

In my slumber,
I will stay.
Will you ever,
go away?

Why should I die?
Why should I live?
Why should I die,
I have nothing to give?
