Lyrics
Don't cry for me today
It was my time to go
I'm somewhere far away
I'm in the Great Unknown
I'll be there out of sight
We're all part of the plan
I'll make it there tonight
I'm in the promised land
In the distance I see the light
I hear the voice of destiny
"I've paved the road to paradise"
"Take my hand...You're coming with me"
Look up into the sky
Maybe you'll see my face
Wipe the tears from your eyes
I'm in a better place
I'll be there out of sight
We're all part of the plan
I'll make it there tonight
I'm in the promised land
In the distance I see the light
I hear the voice of destiny
"I've paved the road to paradise"
"Take my hand...You're coming with me"
