I lay on my bed with death just a breath away
Like a ship I drift with the tide, going out in the bay
Barely hearing the voices of my family around me
Rejoicing deep inside as my soul is set free
I slowly rise, and can see those below
And though they are sad my spirit is aglow
For my pain is gone and a new journey begins
Somehow knowing I've been forgiven of my sins
Those that have gone before me are here to say hello
Making me feel warm with all the love they bestow
I have no fears, and move on with great anticipation
For I know now that I go to my salvation
Do not weep for me for I go to where we all belong
I see into your hearts and I know you will be strong
I'm off to see my creator and start a new endeavor
For I did not die, and will now live forever
