free, I'm following the path God has
i I heard Him call, I turned my back
other day, to laugh, to love, to work
:y that way, I found peace at the end
a void, then fill it with remembered
, a kiss, oh yes, these things I too will
of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of
<ored much, good friends, good times,
ne seemed all too brief, don't lengthen
jur hearts, and share with me, God
free.
