It Must Be Me lyrics

This mediator of death's firm hold

Like our shadows always there

To try to curtail the suffering

With humility and tender care

They ask me, what about so-and-so

I must tell them, they are dead

But with kindness, not insensitivity

Watching every word I said

They ask me, will I die, or even when

Like an angel of death I reply

Some will not, others know

To their inquiries, I sincerely comply

Heartbreaking moments slap me down

Like a still born infant, such a travesty

Helplessness when someone is told

That there is known remedy

That sucks, it's true, part of the job

Others, they will often say

They don't care, they distance selves

Living in a numbed, callused way

All the years, and they come and go

Some making profound impressions

Still at it, still stumbling so

Hearing their pleas, their confessions

There are no hardened lessons

For a soul to learn this you surely see

But someone has to do it

And that's why it must be me
