The Other Side

Lord when I come to see your face I won't sleep there in my grave I'll shed the ashes and dust away And I know I will not die Lift me up in a robin's wing High above the clouds in spring Raise me high in a church bell's ring When I reach the other side Plant me deep in a maple tree Grow some flowers at my feet Pour me out in an autumn breeze Across a mountainside Carry me in an ocean wave Under skies all stormy grey Shine me down in a sunset's rays When I reach the other side Sing me in a Sunday morning choir Roll me down a lover's cheek Lift me, lift me somewhere higher And tell the ones I love not to cry for me Hide me deep in a field of grain Underneath the summer rain Raise me up in a silent prayer Or a newborn baby's cry Lay me down in a country road In the freshly fallen snow And the midnight mist and the full moon glow When I reach the other side Lord when I come to see your face I won't sleep there in my grave I'll shed the ashes and dust away When I reach the other side
