Here I lie in my death bed, elderly and proud of what I have done
I struggle to stay here with my family, but I know it’s time to die, to finally let go, sleep unto my death
My wife and children come to say goodbye
The priest settles down to read my last rites
Fight! I’m trying
Speak! But I’m weak
Fight! It’s difficult
Speak! Through the tears
Say your goodbyes! My Holy Unction
Say your goodbyes! To my love
Say your goodbyes! Your daddy loves you
Say your goodbyes! My final flight
Finally, it’s time to let it go…
Receive the purest warmth of love and blinding light
I lived my life in fear of dark behind the door
The love of God reflects on all the faces of the saints
They beckon me to come
And now it’s time for me to bid farewell
She holds my hand and tries to smile
I’ll wait for you, my love
Hold me until I fade away
“Lacking trust and confidence when anyone showed kindness
I pushed away their loving arms and shrank into the darkness
This lake of mine in which I swam was void and bottomless
But then you came and pulled me out
Life and love awaited”
“Years went by and kids were born
Surrounded by their laughter
Unaware of what we had endured”
“The woods ahead are made for me
The brambles tear and snag until I find your open arms to catch me”
