What if I was born real far away
Would you still be standing here today
Somewhere in another time and place
With the same soul and a different face

What if I was born real far away
Would you still be crying here today
Everything that comes must goes away
Back to where we all first learned to play

So when it's my time
I will let you close my eyes
Safe in your arms
I will let you lay me down

So when it's my time
I will let you close my eyes
Safe in your arms
I will let you lay me down

I wish it was easier to feel
cll the ways that I won't have you near
There's a human dying here tonight
There's a spirit crying for the light

If there was a way that I could stay
I'd only wait to celebrate your day
cnd I can show you where we're gonna meet again one day
But only if you let me go away

So when it's my time
I will let you close my eyes
Safe in your arms
I will let you lay me down

So when it's my time
I will let you close my eyes
Safe in your arms
I will let you lay me down

So when it's my time
I will let you close my eyes
Safe in your arms
I will let you lay me down

cnd when the sun comes
I will share in all your smiles
Though I may be gone
We were only here for a while
