Oh Lord, let me die a natural death

Because I don't want to burn.

I have seen so many Lord,

For fresh air they did yearn.

I have held the lifeless body

Of a little child.

Please Lord, let me die a natural death,

Let me stay around a while.

And while I'm praying to you Lord,

There are others next to me,

Provide an exit from this fate

So we can all be free.

But, if in the line of duty

I must go this way,

Let me know before I go

Another I have saved.
