Let Me Die In My Footsteps

歌詞

I will not go down under the ground 'Cause somebody tells me that death's comin' 'round An' I will not carry myself down to die When I go to my grave, my head will be high Let me die in my footsteps Mm before I go down under the ground There's been rumors of war and wars that have been The meaning of life has been lost in the wind And some people thinking that the end is close by 'Stead of learning to live they are learning to die Let me die in my footsteps Mm before I go down under the ground I don't know if I'm smart but I think I can see When someone is pulling the wool over me And if this war comes and death's all around Let me die on this land 'fore I die underground Let me die in my footsteps Mm before I go down under the ground There's always been people that have to cause fear They've been talkin' about a war now for many long years I have read all their statements and I've not said a word But now Lord God let my poor voice be heard Let me die in my footsteps Mm before I go down under the ground Let me drink from the waters Where the mountain streams flood Let the smell of wildflowers flow free through my blood Let me sleep in your meadows With the green grassy leaves Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace Let me die in my footsteps Mm before I go down under the ground Go out in your country Where the land meets the sun See the craters and the canyons An' where the waterfalls run Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho Let every state in this union Seep deep down in your soul And you'll die, in your footsteps Mm before you go down under the ground
