What reward awaits beyond
What lights shine upon the soul
Those who've suffered long?
Now gone,
Are you running free?
While we grieve, saddened
Crying tears we never let you see
In your place, a candle shines -- but
It will never burn as bright
As the light in your eyes
May you be at rest, now
Peacefully
Forever

What reward awaits beyond
What lights shine upon the soul
Those who've suffered long?
Now gone,
Are you running free?
While we grieve, saddened
Crying tears we never let you see
In your place, a candle shines -- but
It will never burn as bright
As the light in your eyes
May you be at rest, now
Peacefully
Forever
