Brought here in a body bag I never thought it would end like this In the middle of all excitement I cannot think and I cannot speak Yet you know what I would say So shut up now and listen to the words you'd hear I'll go my way if you let me go My life was just a step on your ladder I'll go my way if you let me go You've heard the words that I had to say, now Pass them on I chose to hide my weaknesses I played my cards like I always did I would risk it all to win I'm sorry I had to die like that But I wanted leave with a grin on my face I was full of hope even when I drew my last breath I'll go my way if you let me go My life was just a step on your ladder I'll go my way if you let me go You've heard the words that I had to say, now Pass them on I sit alone by the fire You showed me how to light it
