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
