[Verse 1]
There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
You won't find me singing on this song when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 2]
I won't feel the flowing of the time when I'm gone
All the pleasures of love will not be mine when I'm gone
My pen won't pour a lyric line when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 3]
I won't brеathe the bracing air when I'm gonе
And I can't even worry 'bout my cares when I'm gone
Won't be asked to do my fair share when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 4]
I won't be running from the rain when I'm gone
And I can't even suffer from the pain when I'm gone
I can't say who's to praise and who's to blame when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 5]
I won't see the golden of the sun when I'm gone
And the evenings and the mornings, they'll be one when I'm gone
I can't be singing louder than the guns when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
[Verse 6]
All my days won't be dances of delight when I'm gone
And the sands will be shifting from my sight when I'm gone
I can't add my name into the fight when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 7]
And I won't be laughing at the lies when I'm gone
And I can't question how or when or why when I'm gone
I can't live proud enough to die when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

[Verse 1]
There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
And you won't find me singing on this song when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it
I guess I'll have to do it
I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
