Before I go Please take from me All the feelings That you need Don't hold back For there's nothing left of me Take what you need Before I go. Here's some light When you can't find the way Take some hope When you bend your knee to pray Take some time all the time you need To make up for my leaving Be brave unlike me Do what's right And not what's Easy Stand for those Who fear to fall Be better than me Please. take it all Give until you are but a shell Let those who live Remember you well Take from me So some small part Remains May you live Many more years By living strong Without fear.
