If I Died Today

IF I DIED TODAY, IN THESE TROUBLE TIMES

WHAT WOULD MY PEOPLE SAY THAT I LEFT BEHIND

WOULD YOU SAY MY NAME, WOULD YOU UNDERSTAND

WOULD YOU FEEL MY PAIN, OH I'M JUST A MAN

IF I DIED, DIED TODAY

IF I DIED TODAY, IN THIS COLD COLD BED

OH SO FAR AWAY, I'M ALONE AND SCARED

WOULD YOU SAY MY NAME, WOULD YOU UNDERSTAND

WOULD YOU FEEL MY PAIN, OH I'M JUST A MAN

IF I DIED, DIED TODAY

IT'S A LONELY PLACE, I CAN'T SEE YOUR FACE

OH THE HUMAN TOUCH I MISS SO MUCH

WELL SO MANY SAY, IT'S NOT TRUE TODAY

AS I LIE IN BED, THEY DON'T COUNT THE DEAD

IF I DIED TODAY, SOMEBODY SAY MY NAME

SO THAT THE MEMORIES STAY AND WE SEE THE SHAME

WOULD YOU SAY MY NAME, WOULD YOU UNDERSTAND

WOULD YOU FEEL MY PAIN, OH I'M JUST A MAN

IF I DIED, DIED TODAY

IF I DIED, DIED TODAY
