When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me. 
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room . Why cry for a soul set free? 
Miss me a little but not too long. And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love we once shared 
Miss me but let me go. For this is a journey that we all must ta 
And each must go alone. It's all part of the Master's plan, A step on the road to home.
