I WILL BE FINE

If I never see another morning 
Or hear the roosters voice 
Though the birds of the world be silent 
And there be no chattering 
Or distant noises 

I will be fine my love, I will be fine

If the one that birthed me 
In eternal darkness sleeps
If the heart from conception that loved me
Beyond earths' foundation weeps 

I will be fine my love, I will be fine 

Though my offspring like the day
Falls to the night and walk away 
Leaving me in sickness and pain
In my old age I will proclaim 

I will be fine my love, I will be fine 

And when death calls my name 
To leave the sunshine behind 
And the my departure is chiseled 
On that day, in that moment of time

I will be fine my love, I will be fine.
