Lyrics
Let Me Go
I?ve grown so tired, of fighting this fight.
I want to sleep, all through the night.
I am an old man, I?ve lived a good long life.
My family and friends, have stayed by my side.
They showed me light and gave me their love.
Now I am leaving, for my new home up above.
(Chorus)
Just let me go, I can not stay
She?s calling me home, though I seem weak,
Trust me I know, where I am going, I won?t be alone
I?ll see my wife and my granddaughter too
They?ve been there waiting, like I?ll wait for you.
No need to worry, no need to fear,
This life keeps its promise and leads us all here.
(Chorus)
Before its too late, listen to me.
Our greatest gifts, come to us free.
Look deep in your heart, down in your soul.
My sisters and brothers, I love you so.
(Chorus)
