What do I take with me when I pass on?
nothing
What do I have that is really mine then?
nothing
I don't even take my body.
nor my hair
or my skin
not even the warm color of my eyes
everything I make
and anything I take
all stays right here when I turn to heaven
Every face I ever painted
every breath that I have taken
every word I ever wrote
and every one of these love notes
I leave it all right here when I turn to heaven
If we came in with nothing
and we take nothing
and we leave with nothing
then why must we always fight about something?
why does this color hate the other?
and why do we always blame each other?
can't you relate my brothers?
then why do we hold onto grudges?
why?
I'll leave this all behind
only taking a peace of mind
I'll leave you all of my paints
only taking a life free of hate
I'll leave every word that is written
only taking the memories within
I'll leave every hug I ever gave
only taking the love that we made
And I'll show it all to God
lay my hands open before him with awe
I'm clean of the material
I'm free of a man made world
I'm free of lust and greed
I'm free of things that I "need"
I've washed my mind of hate
and cleared within my heart the blame
I've emptied the pockets of rules
and corrected the mind of a fool
I say live a life of love
say this was how it's supposed to be done
Because when I go
is when I'll know
that love was meant to be given
