|
One day went running on a grassy field |
|
Too few came following |
|
Your spirit flew this earthy place |
|
And so with heavy hearts, yet a certain sense of joy |
|
We say good-bye |
|
And we are left to question |
|
What do we do with this? |
|
A day we all expect, yet unexpected always is |
|
How beautiful the hope of those who know |
|
Where they will go |
|
He set us free |
|
So we need not be afraid |
|
We need not stay longer than the number of our days |
|
Let us love |
|
Mourn and suffer for His sake |
|
Until the day it dawns on us when we must say |
|
Good-bye |
|
See, we're the ones who wonder |
|
We the ones who live |
|
To read and write and ponder 'til our eyes begin to dim |
|
How glorious the joy of those who go |
|
They already know |
|
He set us free |
|
So we need not be afraid |
|
We need not stay longer than the number of our days |
|
Let us love |
|
Mourn and suffer for His sake |
|
Until the day it dawns on us when we must say |
|
Good-bye |
|
On a day like today my heart is bound a little less |
|
To the tight and tiring vanities of life |
|
Like a butterfly emerging, struggling to be free |
|
I feel the lift, I sense the give it takes |
|
To send me flying from this earthy place |
|
He set us free |
|
So we need not be afraid |
|
We need not stay longer than the number of our days |
|
Let us love |
|
Mourn and suffer for His sake |
|
Until the day it dawns when we must say |
|
Good-bye |
|
Tears in our eyes, we say good-bye, too soon to fly, |
|
We wonder why, we say good-bye |
