As the sun rose a welcome ray Holding us in its embrace Was that your spirit come to say I’ll hold you up and leave a trace Of goodness in this world? As the birds sang their hearts out With the joys of a new day Was that your spirit come to shout I’m free, I’m flying, I’m on my way I’m leaving this world? As the breeze stirred with sweetness As we breathed in its scent Was that your keenness The last of your energy spent To reach another world?
