lyrics

I’m out of myself, floating high
Sensation of joy and pure delight
So removed, looking down on them all
Surrounding my body, fighting the call
This is not life, but it’s not a dream
Feeling peaceful and serene
There is a tunnel, I’m moving along
At the end it’s as bright as the sun...

There is a light, a glorious light
A wondrous light that shines for me
If this is death, there is nothing to fear
Let me go to that light, don’t keep me here...

Fading fast now, slipping away
I feel no fear, no more pain
I can see loved ones, they’re calling my name
They’re reaching out, want me to stay...

Stay with the light, the blessed light
The guiding light that shines for me
If this is death, let it be done
Let me stay with the light, I know we go on...

I went to the border, saw the other side
I know we’re united when we die
So when it comes there is nothing to fight
You will go from the darkness and into the light

The end is a light, a blessed light
A glorious light that waits for you
I have seen death, it is nothing to fear
Come in to the light, be with me here
