It's hard to die
And you don't know
Where you will go;
The time runs down
You look at friends
Someone will ask
Where - where do you stand?
If the sound of graveyard bells
Go away from your friends
And they stay there -
Now where are your excuses
Where's the smile on your face?
You don't need tears in your eyes
And you need not weep and cry.
[Refrain:]
Alone, alone
With the father and the son
Alone, alone
What would you have done?
One day you will die
And, I hope, you need not cry
Don't wait until
Your d**h
Make everything clear
In your life
Don't believe
Your good acts were enough
Only grace
Counts in the front of the judge
[Refrain]
You don't need tears in your eyes
And you need not weep and cry.
God has given his son
For what you have done.
[Refrain]
