LIKE THEM, LIKE ME, LIKE YOU
 

Thousands upon thousands are gone,
many buried and not yet even found,
their parts and pieces will be uncovered,
to be finally buried in the ground.

In a large number of those peoples lives,
there was a person just like me,
telling them about PrePaid Legal,
I wonder if many could see?

I am sure in many of their homes,
there are tapes and brochures around,
they didn't have and couldn't make time,
and now, so many troubles will abound.

So many without a will,
for the family left behind,
so many with legal issues,
and now a lawyer to find.

So many who never thought,
anything could happen to them,
a knife, a plane, a cause,
to think of what could have been.

There is a person like me back there,
feeling quite bad deep inside,
as they tried so hard to show and tell,
but people just run and hide.

The same for many of you,
who I have talked with and sent mail,
who still have tapes and brochures,
who won't believe life is frail.

People always so certain,
it will NEVER be ME,
people always so certain,
that tomorrow they will see,
people always so certain,
they don't need to act NOW,
people always so certain,
I'll be ok, somehow,
people always so certain,
they just don't have a need,
people always so certain,
yes, dead certain indeed.
