For 24 years I've lived this life 

In 24 hours I'll leave this life 

Powder flash 

As the earth gave way 

Crimson blooms 

On my coat of gray 

The light grows dark as I awake 

Angels dance my soul to take 

I hear them say 



Take the hand of the Father 

As he leads you to the land 

Of no tomorrow 

Take the hand of the Father 

As he leads you to the land 

Of no more sorrows 



Mama I'll miss your tender care 

Daddy I hope I'll see you there 

I tried so hard to do what's right 

The time has come 

To give up this fight 

Lord I hear your still small voice 

In a childhood vow 

I made my choice
