A car accident (This one was written after that)



Saw, death dancing in front of my own eyes
Can not cry as I was saying myself, goodbye
It was happening faster than new baby's cry
Was unbelievable that life is full of surprise

This scenario continued, for a couple of minutes
An angel appears, before my hope can diminish
Said the Angel wake up, I am here to replenish
Thank God that rescue has come before I finish

For a while was swinging between life; & death
Saw an angel; coming to carry away from death
Felt a sigh of relief; instantly was out of threat
Is a miracle, snatched me from mouth of death

No matter how much you calculate, do the math
You never know, what is going to happen, next
This is a system, even you don't like it, is a fact
You have no say in it, ready to fall in lap of death

Understand, devote your life for good, is the best
Who knows, when you receive a wreath of death
Prior that happens I want to be an angel of death
To know my fate, before it surround me of threat
