The time has come And as I reach up to the sky The love will never die At last it's here The darkest sky begins to clear The final hour draws near But the voices are calling me Erasing the pain and the fear So lay me down Lay me to rest It's over now 'cause I know it's the beginning Of the end ♪ And so we'll rise By the grace of God alone His words carved in stone I'm never gone I'll always be within your heart Waiting's the worst part Now the voices are calling me Soothing me and easing the pain and the fear So lay me down Lay me to rest It's over now 'cause I know it's the beginning Of the end ♪ And I see my life pass quickly by I am watching All these years we thought we were so wise They mean nothing Walk alone into the dying mist Come alive forever See the things we've never seen before Hand in hand together ♪ The falling rays Are lightning up the open door We've all been waiting for Well, the voices are calling me Showing the path that is clear So lay me down Lay me to rest It's over now 'cause I know it's the beginning So lay me down (lay me down) Lay me to rest (lay me to rest) It's over now 'cause I know it's the beginning (the beginning) Of the end
