To Lyric...when i'm gone

Before my time is done
Before I’ve had my fair share of fun under the summer sun,
Before my blood dries up and refuses to run
I’ll write a few lines for you, hold up a light for you, pick up a fight for you,
Introduce a few friends of mine to you
Che, Marx, Gautam, Dylan, Hendrix, Water, Rimbaud, Morrison, Shakespeare,
Have no fear, my dear, I’ll always be there, somewhere near,
I’ll make my last stand next to you, right over here.

And when you grow up,
Hope you choose right and open the doors of perception, understand the implication,
Dig deep for salvation,
Raise your clenched fist for liberty, truth and revolution.

Stand tall for all that you will learn to believe in,
Never give up, never give in,
Make the lyric ring true whenever you sing.
Dream, imagine, destroy, create now for we will not live for ever
So do me a favour
At times just let it be,
Coz you will realize that anger does not pay even though it comes for free.

But over and above
I hope you return every night to true love.
And when I’m gone, shed no tear, have no fear, my dear,
I’ll always be there, somewhere near.
