My Last Meal Was an Orange


My last meal was an orange

How sweet it was

The life blood on my hands

The flesh all I need

 

How sweet it was

To peel that peel away

The flesh all I need

 Sustain my last breath

 

To peel that peel away

May he

Sustain my last breath

And take me up

 

May he

Love me

And take me up

To his heavenly kingdom

 

Love me

As we walk

To his heavenly kingdom

Within my heart

 

As we walk

The life blood on my hands

With love in my heart

My last meal was an orange
