lyrics

They keep coming round to give their best to you
But you know, it won’t do
And its funny that when things look down for you
Happiness shines through

That’s how you’ll go, that’s how I’ll know, you’re ready for afterlife
Whatever it brings, I’ll keep on singing, never losing the sight of your light

You always said that you’d skip into the night
Now I know, you were right
Skipping rocks on the coast in dawn’s virgin light
And I know, I’ll be alright

That’s how you go, that’s how I know, you’re ready for afterlife
Whatever it brings, I’ll keep on singing, never losing the sight of your light
The sight of your light
The sight of your light
By your bedside

And I fold today
A hundred thousand cranes
Taking flight

And you soared away
Leaving no remains
Taking flight

And a perfect day
Sun rising up
Taking flight

And you can see that you are free from your past
And you fly away
And you fly on to another day

And peace will find you in that place that your soul decides to rest
And you fly away
And you fly on to another day
