When I die, carry me

To that California mountaintop where Jesus set me free

When I go by and by

Watch me fly into the heavenlies, the angels by my side

Yeah when I die

But when I live, may I be the kind of person that my grandmother would be smiling down to see

Yeah while I'm here, while I still breathe, may I have love for my fellow man even if they don't for me

When I die I won't have nothing more to give

Oh, but when I live

When I die, take me home

To those Colorado rocky tops where I prayed to be made whole

When I'm gone, far from this place

Gather friends around the the campfire light and sing amazing grace

Yeah when I die

But when I live, may I try to leave this world a much better place than it was when I arrived

May I walk, with faith my sight

May I go into the darkness and do my best to shine a light

When I die I won't have nothing more to give

Oh, but when I live

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound

I can almost hear it now

I'll fly away, my glory, fly

We gotta live before we die

When I die, hold my hand

Whisper pray the lord my soul to take in Jesus' name amen

Yeah when I'm gone forevermore point the lanterns toward the western sky and sail them from the shore

Oh, When I die

But when I live, may I be the kind of person who does what is right, and not what was done to me

While I'm here, before I go, may I stand up for the least of us even when the others don't

When I die I won't have nothing more to give

In the end I'll find what really matter is

When I live
