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
