Good-Bye

<p>One day went running on a grassy field<br/>Too few came following<br/>Your spirit flew this earthy place<br/>And so with heavy hearts, yet a certain sense of joy<br/>We say good-bye<br/><br/>And we are left to question<br/>What do we do with this?<br/>A day we all expect, yet unexpected always is<br/>How beautiful the hope of those who know<br/>Where they will go<br/><br/>He set us free<br/>So we need not be afraid<br/>We need not stay longer than the number of our days<br/>Let us love<br/>Mourn and suffer for His sake<br/>Until the day it dawns on us when we must say<br/>Good-bye<br/>See, we&#x27;re the ones who wonder<br/>We the ones who live<br/>To read and write and ponder &#x27;til our eyes begin to dim<br/>How glorious the joy of those who go<br/>They already know<br/><br/>He set us free<br/>So we need not be afraid<br/>We need not stay longer than the number of our days<br/>Let us love<br/>Mourn and suffer for His sake<br/>Until the day it dawns on us when we must say<br/>Good-bye<br/><br/>On a day like today my heart is bound a little less<br/>To the tight and tiring vanities of life<br/>Like a butterfly emerging, struggling to be free<br/>I feel the lift, I sense the give it takes<br/>To send me flying from this earthy place<br/><br/>He set us free<br/>So we need not be afraid<br/>We need not stay longer than the number of our days<br/>Let us love<br/>Mourn and suffer for His sake<br/>Until the day it dawns when we must say<br/>Good-bye<br/>Tears in our eyes, we say good-bye, too soon to fly<br/>We wonder why, we say good-bye
