Free-Will Your Soul, Lay Down Your Pain

It was a candle that danced the flame
It was a song that soothed the pain

The road so heavy 
The going long

The hills were mountains
The streams were seas

The clouds were shadows 
The rains were tears

The fields were calling

Lay down your years
Sow here your fears
Listen to the wind
Whistling your name
Remember the great past of life
Feel the enticing rain
For now the spirits come to take you home 

Lay down your pain
Free will your soul
