Verse 1 If I die before the morning comes, don't let the silence win. Tell them I laughed too loud sometimes, tell them where I've been. I wasn't perfect, wasn't sure, but I showed up anyway — so hold what's good and let the rest just drift like yesterday. Chorus If I die, let the story keep on turning, let the love I gave keep burning, in the hands I held, the songs I sang, the small good things I somehow left behind. If I die, don't build me up in marble, just remember I was here — that's enough, that's enough. Verse 2 If I die, don't wait to say the things you meant to say today. Call your people, hold them close, don't let it slip away. I'll be the wind that moves the leaves, the light before the dawn — not really gone, just changed somehow, still with you, moving on. Chorus If I die, let the story keep on turning, let the love I gave keep burning, in the hands I held, the songs I sang, the small good things I somehow left behind. If I die, don't build me up in marble, just remember I was here — that's enough, that's enough. Outro So live loud while you can, love hard while you can, that's the only plan that makes the ending kind.
