Analysis of Can I make a deal with God?
One Verse A Day And Doctor Goes Away 2001 (Stavropol)
Can I make a deal with God?
Rushing wind to cut my hair
Crossroads stolen, dreams unclear
Could you kill me from the start?
Meant to live the whole life trying
To define my place and worth
If I'm feeble — please stop lying -
Give me death so soft as birth.
