Life is but a stopping p{ace, 5l pause in wfiat s to be,
5l resting p{ace afong tfie roac, to sweet eternity.
We a{{ liave different journeys, 1Jifferent pat/is afong tlie way, We a{{ were meant to fearn some tliings,
but never meant to stay... Our destination is a p{ace, ~argreater tfian we !(now. ~or some tlie journeys quickf,r, ~or some tlie journeys sfow. Jlnd wlien tfie journey fina{{y ends, We '{{ c{aim agreat reward, Jlndfind an ever{asting peace, rrogetlier witli tlie Lord.

Witfi tearju{ eyes we watcfieryou, we watcfieryou fade away. 5t{tfiougfi we fover you rfear[y, we couU not ma~ you stay. ~ goUen fieart stopper beating, liard worKing fiancfs now rest.
