The time has come and as I reach up to the sky
The love will never die at last it's here
The darkest sky begins to clear
The final hour draws near
But the voices calling me
Erasing the pain and the fear

So lay me down, lay me to rest 
It's over now 'cause I know it's the beginning of the end

And so we'll rise by the grace of God alone
His words carved in stone 
I'm never gone, I'll always be within your heart
Waiting's the worst part
Now the voices are calling me
Soothing me and easing the pain and the fear

So lay me down, lay me to rest 
It's over now 'cause I know it's the beginning of the end

And I see my life pass quickly by 
I am watching 
All these years we thought we were so wise
They mean nothing
Walk alone into the dying mist 
Ccome alive forever
See the things we've never seen before
Hand in hand together

The falling rays are lightning up the open door
We've all been waiting for
Where the voices are calling me
Showing the path that is clear

So lay me down, lay me to rest 
It's over now 'cause I know it's the beginning
So lay me down (so lay me down) lay me to rest (lay me to rest) 
It's over now 'cause I know it's the beginning of the end
