My friend died yesterday
Young and fit a football him did a play
When mi look in a miself and mi realize say
It coulda happen to anyone a we
Him did a mek plans fi the holiday
Look how easy him gone away
No man nuh know the hour or the time a the day
Cause none a we nuh come yah fi stay

[Chorus:]
So while mi alive mi a live my life fi Christ
Cause mi nuh wah pay the price
Of dying in sins
So mi a hail the King
Cause mi nah mek Satan rejoice
So while mi alive mi a live my life fi Christ
Unnu tek mi advice
Cause if you die in sin
And nuh hail the King
Satan and him angels rejoice

So when mi look pon mi friend pon the ice
Yuh know eye water full up mi eyes
Mister death just run in
Not even think twice
Never get fi say him last goodbye
Mi look pon mi friend with mi sad face
A mi bredda but mi don't want fi take him place
Mi a hope seh Father God save him by grace
And as mi a stand over the grave
[Chorus]

That could have been you
It could have been me
...

[Chorus]
