“Slave to This World” song

“Slave to This World” song

     by Sky Flyer Doug

When I’m dead and in my grave

I will no longer be a slave

To the troubles of this world

Of this world, of this world 

When I’m dead and I am gone

I will not have to travel on

Through the darkest corners of

This troubled world, this troubled world 

Chorus

When I’m gone, don’t pray too long

I won’t be dead, just travelling on

Get up off your knees and say

He’ll be alright, he’ll be okay

He’ll be okay

Well I’m moving, I’m moving on

My heart is yearning to be gone 

When I die I’ll be alive forever more

Forever more

I feel I’m leaving this old world

I wish I could be heaven hurled 

To the peaceful reaches of

Some distant shore, some distant shore

Chorus

When I’m gone don’t pray too long

I won’t be dead, just travelling on

Get up off your knees and say

He’ll be alright, he’ll be okay

He’ll be okay

I’m going, I’m moving on

I wish I could be long gone

Leave this place of endless woe

And sickness too, and sickness too

Chorus

When I’m gone don’t pray too long

I won’t be dead, just travelling on

Get up off your knees and say

He’ll be alright, he’ll be okay

He’ll be okay

When I’m dead and in my grave

I will no longer be a slave

To the troubles of this world

Of this world, of this world 

When I’m dead and I am gone

I will not have to travel on

Through the darkest corners of

This troubled world, this troubled world

Chorus

When I’m gone don’t pray too long

I won’t be dead, just travelling on

Get up off your knees and say

He’ll be alright, he’ll be okay

He’ll be okay
