I still have my fingers

But I lost my way

If I'm patient

Will you know my name?

I'll linger in pictures

After my last day

Life was just a flicker

Oh, I wish I could stay

When I'm gone

Don't weep for me

Don't weep for me

Weep for the children

Left with nothing to eat

Weep for the oceans

Down at your feet

Weep for you brothers and sisters

Cold in the streets

Just don't weep for me

Don't weep for me

Cause I still have my fingers

To grip you tight

As one son grows bigger

Another won't last the night

A daughter's first whisper

One man's last fight

Oh, life is just a flicker

In a blinding light

So when I'm gone

Don't weep for me

Don't weep for me

Weep for the soldiers

That don't make it home

Weep for the mothers

The brave left alone

Weep for the helpless and stricken

Sick to the bone

Just don't weep for me

Don't weep for me
