Caged No More

This is the day
You are finally free
But a day eventually 
Everyone will see
The door swung open
And then you stepped through
Leaving a useless body
Taking away the inner you
And if you look back now
You'll see everything is your past
Leaving others caged behind
Knowing these times would never last
This was your time to say goodbye
And go into your everlasting sleep
But memories are always there to comfort
When in our souls we weep
We may not understand now
Why angels chose to close your eyes
But your encouraging words are always there
To help us when we cry
So go and be free
Now's your time to fly away
Caged no more
Never again another day
