There’s no point weeping, wailing or moaning
For the grave, body and shroud are ready.
Those weeping, wailing or moaning are wasting
Energy, for death is cruelly certain.
Girls and boys came very early,
Men and women came very early,
Friends and neighbors came very early,
And everybody else is here
For death has no mercy
The sun surely beckons us to act;
To face reality and do the job at hand
For tomorrow will be a different day,
But we’ll not forget him.
Girls and boys came very early,
Men and women came very early,
Friends and neighbors came very early,
And everybody else is here
For death has no mercy
He was one of us and he lived by example.
He was a mentor while helping many others
And that’s why it’s so hard to say-
‘Till, we meet again.’
Girls and boys came very early,
Men and women came very early,
Friends and neighbors came very early,
And everybody else is here
For death has no mercy
