When
I die
Give
what's left of me away
To
children
And
old men that wait to die.
And
if you need to cry,
Cry
for your brother
Walking
the street beside you.
And
when you need me,
Put
your arms
Around
anyone
And
give them
What
you need to give to me.
I
want to leave you something,
Something
better
Than
words
Or
sounds.
Look
for me
In
the people I've known
Or
loved,
And
if you cannot give me away,
At
least let me live on your eyes
And
not on your mind.
You
can love me most
By
letting
Hands
touch hands,
By
letting
Bodies
touch bodies,
And
by letting go
Of
children
That
need to be free.
Love
doesn't die,
People
do.
So,
when all that's left of me
Is
love,
Give me away.
