If I Die Tonight

By Sergio Nogales

Lord I hope you understand
That the life I was living was not in its land
This is not my place it wasn't made to be
Why am I living in hell when my life isn't complete


If I died in my early years why did you bring me back
I was on my way to heaven now I've lost my track
Will I ever get to see you so I can cry like a baby
You are my father but I haven't been good lately


Why am I being punished all ready when I haven't done a crime
I haven't killed nobody but I stole some money in my early time
Why is it that I see myself die before I get to see my kids

I'm all ready lost and confused show me how heaven is I'm not afraid to die
cause I feel like I'm all ready dead Ears that won't listen, eyes that can't see;


take me instead

If I could rule the world this world could be heaven
Stop the wars and the fighting,
change our lifestyle of living
But for now I'm in hell
where I hope I'm not staying

Forgive me Lord

I'm not perfect

that's why I'm praying

But if I die tonight before I wake I pray to you Lord my soul to take
