What happens after my death?                     
Where do I go from here?                               
Or do I remain the same?                                     
O, I just want to know.                                       
When and how would I lay dead?
Life is a gift worth thanks giving.                       
Death is a transmission into the other world.     
The whole thing is like a game.                       
Starting from birth,                                               
Then, ending at death.                                           
But then, what is it about?
The gift of life is a divine glory.                           
And the curse of death is a divine mystery.               
O! I just want to know.                                         
What happens when I lay dead?                             
That I have ended my course,                           
Or that I have nothing more to do?                       
I’ll be happy knowing when I shall lay dead. 
So that I can at least,                                     
Make a reputable impact.                                           
Before if at all, I should depart.

I expect peace after I lay dead.                           
No shedding of tears.                                               
Or some pilling of blood.                                     
But peace and love.                                           
For as I live, that’s my game.                             
Where do I lay dead? Is it at homeland?             
Or in a foreign land?                                             
All I want is peace after I lay dead.

Would there still be sufferings?                   
Weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth?
After I lay my head to rest?                       
What duty do I have in the next world?             
Can I to rule my destiny?                                           
If so, then when I lay dead,                                       
Those I love should keep what I have kept.

How is the place to go after death?             
What duties are there to be executed?     
Do I have some one to please if not Jah?
When do I lay dead?                                               
O My Lord! Have mercy for your children.
Now and after I lay dead.
