Today is my funeral
All is making merry,
The day has come when I'm finally free
And everyone speak of my glory.
I can feel the peace descending
I can feel the calm setting in,
Not a drop of tear on any face,
Just smiles full of glee.
Thank you people
Thank you for digging my grave,
Thank you for making it sweet,
Putting all your blood and sweat.
Write my name on the wooden cross
Put the dates as it is;
Lay a blue rose on the mound,
And fix a stone below my feet.
It's time for all of you to leave;
It is time for me to rise
Time for me to begin the journey,
The last time for me to cry.
A last glimpse of you
To keep me warm in the chill,
A last walk with you;
The rain will soon begin.
Alone, like the begining
Heeding a call coming from within;
I sit beside my grave
Waiting for it to end,
Talking to me below the earth,
Dying only to refrain.
