If I die young
Bury me in blossoms
Lay me down on a bed of daisies
Wave me your district salute
Promise me you'll be the winning tribute
Uh oh, uh oh
Lord, make me a bird song
Whistling through the districts
I'll still be with you
With the Mockingjay's music
Oh, well
Don't think about what the Capitol allows
No
The cannon fires
But I'm good and safe now
The sharp spear
Of a short year
Well
I've had just enough time
If I die young
Underneath the willow
Lay me down on a soft green pillow
Wave me your district salute
Promise me you'll be the last tribute
Uh oh, uh oh
The sharp spear
Of a short year
Well
I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing wings
When I come into your fortress
I'm as green as the grass
On my wooden star necklace
I've never had an older sibling
But it sure felt nice
When I was hearing you sing
Told my family back home
I'd care for them forever
Who would've thought forver could be severed by
The sharp spear
Of a short year
Well
I've had just enough time
So put on your gold pin
And I'll wear my charm
What I never did is done
Seed bread sent today
Oh no
Send it to Katniss
It means so much more
If I know she can have this
Maybe then you'll hear
The Mockingjays singing
Funny when you're dead
How people start listening
If I die young
Bury me in blossoms
Lay me down on a bed of daisies
Wave me your district salute
Promise me you'll be the last tribute
Uh oh, uh oh
The ballad of a jay
Promise me you'll stay
Gather up your tears
Keep 'em with your arrows
Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em
The sharp spear
Of a short year
Well
I've had just enough time
So put on your gold pin
And I'll wear my charm
