Let Me Die In My Footsteps
David Dondero

Well I will not go down under the ground
just 'cos someone told me that deaths coming round
and 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
before I go down, under the ground

There's been rumours of war and a war that has been
the meaning of life has been lost to the wind
There's people, they're thinking,
that the end is close by
Instead of learning to live, they're just learning to die
Let me die
In my footsteps
Before I go down, under the ground

I don't know if I'm smart, but I think I could see
when somebody's pulling the wool over me
And if this war comes and death is all around
Let me die on this land before I die underground
Let me die
In my footsteps
Before I go down, under the ground

Well there's always been people that like to cause fear
they've been talking about these wars now, for many long years
and I've 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
before I go down, under the ground

And if I had riches and rubies and crowns
Well I'd buy this whole world up, and I'd change it around
and I'd throw all their bombs and their guns in the sea
because they are the mistakes of our past history
Let me die
in my footsteps
Before I go down, under the ground

Let me drink from your water
Where the mountain streams flood
Let the smell of wild flowers flow free through my blood
let me sleep in your meadow, with the green grassy leaves
Let me walk down these highways
with my brothers in peace
Let me die
In my footsteps
Before I go down, under the ground

So go out in this country,
where the land meets the sun
see the craters and the canyons where the waterfalls run
Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho
let every state in this union sink into your soul
And you'll die
In your footsteps
before you go down, under the ground
