Set me free

When my eyes close for my final sleep
Don't dig a hole to burie me deep

Release my soul into a westerly breeze 
Close to nature flowers and trees 

Make it at sunrise at the first light of day
For The rays of the sun to show me the way

With the mist rolling in and the fresh morning dew 

This is my last request that I hope you will do

So When I close my eyes and I will no longer be

Please do what I ask and set my soul free
