Just for a day,
oh, I wish I could die,
see who shall cry,
who would wish it's all just a lie.

Among all who I know,
to whom shall my demise bring sorrow.

Who would it bring pain,
who would have to try to keep their sane,
who would be happy with the choice god made, the choice they wish that been made sooner,
who would rejoice.

Who would regret, words they said,
now that I'm dead.

Should I worry about those who'd cry,
those who would do anything to see me smile,
those who I know just to see me, would walk a mile,
I don't know.

Just for a day though,
oh, I wish I could die,
be able to hear what people would say,
who would cry,
who would be happy it's finally time for goodbye.

Just for a day,
oh, how I wish I could die.
