TOO YOUNG TO DIE
In his deathbed he
saw it
Very terrified and so
sick
He couldn’t hold his
tears
Nor hiding his fears
In tearful he said
“I’m too young to
die
I don’t want to
die tonight
I don’t want to
say goodbye
Because I am too
young to die”
He was pale and
looked awful
Very desperate and
fearful
He was in such a pain
His hope in vain
With fearful he said
“I’m too young to die
I don’t want to
die tonight
I don’t want to
say goodbye
Because I am too
young to die”
He said “I have not
seen enough”
It is very tough
Don’t take me my Lord
Let me live oh God”
He was only twelve
Very innocent and
brave
And when it came
Ombeni was never the
same
And now i remember
him saying
“I’m too young to die
I don’t want to
die tonight
I don’t want to
say goodbye
Because I am too
young to die”
