Analysis of When I die young
When I die young, tell my mom and dad that I tried my best to make them proud.
Tell my brothers not to cry, tell my sisters to study well, and their bro will take a long sleep after sunset.
Tell my family and friends not to cry because I was born to die.
Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not too long, and don't bow your head low.
Remember the love we once shared, miss me but let me for this is a journey we all must take and each must go alone. Love you always till we meet again.
