Slowly the light begins to fade
Nothing but memories remain
I'm letting go of past and present
My hope lies in the future tense

I'll fly away
Into the night
The sacred place
Beyond the skies

I greet the stranger at the door
He comes to take me from this world
Fearless I look up to heaven
I breathe my last and close my eyes

Life is ending with the day
Just beginning when I wake

I'm flying away
Trading my sorrow and shame
Soaring higher to a better world

My time is at hand
I'll never turn and go back
So finally forever
Open up the gates and I'm home
