Twenty-four years I've lived this life,
In twenty-four hours I'll leave this life,
Powder flash as the earth gave way,
Crimson blooms on my coat of grey.

The light grows dark as I awake,
Angels dance, my soul to take,
I hear them say...

Take the hand of the Father as he leads you to the land of no tomorrow,
Take the hand of the Father as he leads you to the land of no more sorrow.

Mama, I'll miss your tender care,
Daddy, I hope I'll see you there,
I tried so hard to do what's right,
The time has come to give up this fight,
Lord, I hear your still small voice,
In a childhood vow I made my choice,
I hear you say...

Take the hand of the Father as he leads you to the land of no tomorrow,
Take the hand of the Father as he leads you to the land of no more sorrow.

Take the hand of the Father as he leads you to the land of no tomorrow,
Take the hand of the Father as he leads you to the land of no tomorrow,
Take the hand of the Father as he leads you to the land of no more sorrow.
