I lay down my head   Almost asleep   Tears in my eyes   Why should I weep   I know there's more    Where I am going now   Angels surround me and lead me back home      So if I should die before I wake   I pray dear God my soul he'll take   So don't you cry for my sake   When I am gone    Cause I have just begun to live my life   It's just my faith   Don't ask me why   Cause we're all just here for a time   And then we're gone   Looks like I'm moving on      As I close my eyes   That's when I see   It's not what you know   It's what you believe   And as the page turns    And this world gets the best of me   I hold to my faith   And let hope lead her way      So if I should die before I wake   I pray dear God my soul he'll take   So don't you cry upon my sake   When I am gone   Cause I have just begun to live   I will bravely pay the price   No counting tears or casting doubt   I'm going home      Cause I have just begun to see the signs   I see the light   In the corners of my mind   Parental tears I hear them crying   As the moment passes by   A beeping sound is slowing down   I feel the waves are breaking now   I call to shore and drift away      So if I should die before I wake   I pray dear God my soul he'll take   So don't you cry for my sake   When I am gone    Cause I have just begun to live my life   It's just my faith   Don't ask me why   Cause we're all just here for a time   And then we're gone   Cause I have just begun   I have just begun   I have just begun   I have just begun to live
