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 are 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 for ever see the things we ve never seen before hand in hand together they falling rays are lighting up the open door we ve all been waiting for all 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 to rest it s over now cause i know it s the beginning of the end
