Goodbye - Hello

Burning, burning, twisting, turning…

Find the key, find the door,
Fate will do the dirty chore.
Down you go, down the hole,
But weep not, it’s not your soul.
Why we laugh, why we cry,
We don’t know, we just die.
After what has been said and done,
The best is all that is left to come.

Flying, flying, soaring, gliding…

They are there, because they care,
That is why they stand and stare.
Moving forward looking back,
Everyone is dressed in black.
Climbing towards the guiding light,
You realize why you quit the fight.
Now you know you are not on earth,
And revel in your new rebirth.

Mother, Father, I am home.
