"W on 't C%ij
Don't cry any more tears for me I am at peace, I am finally free Like the eagles in the sky I am soaring; so please don't cry. I know you love me. but my time is over It's finally through I have ascended to a better place Which is not confined by time and space To those that love me. I did not fall. I only succumbed to a higher call. Do not mourn me, I am with you still; I'll be with you always, from dawn until.
