Analysis of For you
Do not grieve
When my end does come
Do not grieve.
For I have reached
the heavens of final eternity.
You have to be stronger
Work a little harder
Laugh a little louder,
For you now have to live for two.
You have your responsibility and mine
Cross the t's and dot the i's of the world
For me and for you.
Life is but a game,
When the whistle blows for me
Do not stop,play on
Strive for a better game than mine.
Do not grieve
When my end does come
Do not grieve.
