If I d ie before I get it done, will you decide?
Ta ke my w ords and turn them into signs that will survive
Because a l ong t ime ago I knew not to deprive
It's s afe out t here and now you're everywhere, just like the skies
Yo u are l ove, you are the love supreme, you are the rise
And when you h ear t his, you know it's your jam, it's your goodbye
Li ke I said, you know I'm a lmost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the d rummer drums, he's gonna p lay my song to carry me along
Li ke I said, you know I'm a lmost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the b oatman comes to ferry m e away to where we all belong
We all c rossed when we were feeling lost, it's just the tide
Kat ari c ried the day her lover died, she recognized
Because he g ave h er a life of real love, it's no surprise
The n ights are l ong but the years are short when you're alive
Wa y back w hen would never be again, it was a time
It's gonna c atch y ou, so glad I met you, to walk the line
Li ke I said, you know I'm a lmost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the d rummer drums he's gonna p lay my song to carry me along
Li ke I said, you know I'm a lmost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the b oatman comes to ferry m e away to where we all belong

Hey! Hey!

Another son will rise
