Pilot Deaths In The Age Of Covid19

When I die and they lay me to rest

Gonna go to the place that's the best

When I lay me down to die

That's where I'm gonna go when I die

When I die and they lay me to rest

Gonna go to the place that's the best

Prepare yourself you know it's a must

Gotta have a friend in Jesus

So you know that when you die

He's gonna recommend you

To the spirit in the sky

Gonna recommend you

To the spirit in the sky
