50) Thomas ~ When I'm gone:

He is just a child.
Barely ten years old -
and I wonder what will happen.
Who will make his bed?
Tell him all the things I said? -
and I wonder what will happen when I'm gone.
When I'm gone.

Who will tell him all the skills he needs?
Who will tell him how to succeed? -
and I wonder what will happen.
Who will play games with him?
Tell him right from wrong? -
and I wonder what will happen when I'm gone.
When I'm gone.

Maybe someday, after the rain.
Tell him how to stop the pain.
Tell me, tell me who will be there that day?
Who will make it all go away?
Oh, when I'm gone.
When I'm gone.
Who will love him?.
When I'm gone.
