One fact is certain,

from the day we are born,

that someday we'll die

and perhaps some will mourn

our passing from this world,

that we have known,

to heaven or hell

or some place unknown.

What scares me most

is how I will die,

how old I will be

and if anyone will cry

and be sorry that I

am no longer on earth.

Will they pray for my soul

at my body's death.

Unfortunately death

cannot be understood

until you are in a box

made out of wood.

Finally this mystery

will be solved for you

but will remain a secret

until they join you.
