My friend died yesterday 
Young and fit a football him did a play 
When mi look in a miself and mi realize say
It coulda happen to anyone a we 
Him did a mek plans fi the holiday 
Look how easy him gone away 
No man nuh know the hour or the time a the day 
Cause none a we nuh come yah fi stay 

So while mi alive mi a live my life fi Christ 
Cause mi nuh wah pay the price 
Of dying in sins 
So mi a hail the King 
Cause mi nah mek Satan rejoice 
So while mi alive mi a live my life fi Christ 
Unnu tek mi advice 
Cause if you die in sin 
And nuh hail the King 
Satan and him angels rejoice 

So when mi look pon mi friend pon the ice 
Yuh know eye water full up mi eyes 
Mister death just run in 
Not even think twice 
Never get fi say him last goodbye 
Mi look pon mi friend with mi sad face 
A mi bredda but mi don't want fi take him place 
Mi a hope seh Father God save him by grace 
And as mi a stand over the grave

So while mi alive mi a live my life fi Christ 
Cause mi nuh wah pay the price 
Of dying in sins 
So mi a hail the King 
Cause mi nah mek Satan rejoice 
So while mi alive mi a live my life fi Christ 
Unnu tek mi advice 
Cause if you die in sin 
And nuh hail the King 
Satan and him angels rejoice 

That could have been you 
It could have been me
...

So while mi alive mi a live my life fi Christ 
Cause mi nuh wah pay the price 
Of dying in sins 
So mi a hail the King 
Cause mi nah mek Satan rejoice 
So while mi alive mi a live my life fi Christ 
Unnu tek mi advice 
Cause if you die in sin 
And nuh hail the King 
Satan and him angels rejoice
