Oh Lord, let me die a natural death
Because I don't want to burn.
I have seen so many Lord,
For fresh air they did yearn.
I have held the lifeless body
Of a little child.
Please Lord, let me die a natural death,
Let me stay around a while.
And while I'm praying to you Lord,
There are others next to me,
Provide an exit from this fate
So we can all be free.
But, if in the line of duty
I must go this way,
Let me know before I go
Another I have saved.
