DON'T BURY ME
Don't bury me abroad <br /> Keep me by my roots <br /> Where my father toiled <br /> In torn Leather boots <br /> Take me back to motherland <br /> Where my mother's land <br /> Was bought in her brother's name <br /> Where we learned that blood is thicker than water <br /> And we fear dearly our parents cane <br /> So we used our head <br /> To protect our family's name <br /> Bury me by my Sister <br /> Who never turned 18 <br /> Because a doctor skipped a few classes in school <br /> Home doesn't mean peace <br /> But it's worth living for <br /> Bury me in the promised land <br /> With fellow soldiers <br /> Who fought for freedom <br /> Against politicians who promise land <br /> Though my flesh will die <br /> My work will live forever <br /> You will bury a man <br /> But many more shall live through him <br />
