Perhaps when you are old,
Or perhaps you take a tumble,
Death is Patient, It will wait.
You could be struck down tomorrow,
Or live until you are ninety nine,
Death is Patient, It will wait.
You could lose a battle,
Or run out of steam,
Death is Patient, It will wait.
No matter how long it takes
Or how hard you fight,
Death is Patient, It will wait.
So get up and fight,
We’ve got work to do.
Death is Patient, It can wait.
