Young Man Cut Down In His Prime |
| I dreamed a dream of my first born son |
| Estranged from me for ten years or more |
| I woke the next morning from tormented sleep |
| To find him standing there at my door |
| Oh! |
| father be not a stranger to me |
| Open your heart in my hour of need |
| My body is broken my time is near |
| And I’m trembling under this shadow of fear |
| This sickness has taken my lover from me |
| Has taken the life from the friends that were mine |
| And now I must follow like many before |
| Too many young men cut down in their prime |
| And when I am dead and they lay me to rest |
| Ask not for flowers to cover my grave |
| Ask rather for riches to seek and to find |
| A cure for my brothers, that they might be saved |
| So remember me father with love in your heart |
| I pray that it blooms with the passage of time |
| Let love be your healer for love was my crime |
| And now I’m a young man cut down in my prime |
| I dreamed a dream, of my first born son |
