If I Die Lyrics by Rare Earth

Fill Your Head: The Studio Albums 1969-1974

1971

Rain is falling on my head
Pretty soon I might be dead
The end is here, Lord, it's plain to see
I guess my country's made a fool of me
If I die, please make sure
Someone will bring me home
If I die, tomorrow
Someone will be all alone
Family's children standin' by
Mother finds it hard not to cry
A look of sadness on their face
Tryin' hard not to show a trace
If I die, please make sure
Someone will bring me home
If I die, tomorrow
Someone will be all alone
One last question before I go
One last answer I must know
Tomorrow morning I'll be alone
Can you tell me why I can't be home?
If I die, please make sure
Someone will bring me home
If I die, tomorrow
Someone will be all alone
If I die, please make sure
Someone will bring me home
If I die, tomorrow
Someone will be all alone
I don't wanna die, but if I die...
If I die, please make sure
Someone will bring me home
If I die, tomorrow
Someone will be all alone
