Take a breath Hold it in and sink beneath Feel the eyes of the living watching me Lay me down in the water Leave the past behind There's a time to be born And a time to die And somewhere they collide Lay me down in the waves Let the water wash away And if I leave with the tide In the morning I will rise So lay me down
Don't lift me out Let me drown I have walked in distant waters Let me drown But I never walked alone Let me drown If my heart should ever wander Let the water lead me home Lay me down in the waves Let the water wash away And if I leave with the tide In the morning I will rise So lay me down Don't lift me out
