For 24 years I've lived this life 
In 24 hours I'll leave this life 
Powder flash 
As the earth gave way 
Crimson blooms 
On my coat of gray 
The light grows dark as I awake 
Angels dance my soul to take 
I hear them say 

Take the hand of the Father 
As he leads you to the land 
Of no tomorrow 
Take the hand of the Father 
As he leads you to the land 
Of no more sorrows 

Mama I'll miss your tender care 
Daddy I hope I'll see you there 
I tried so hard to do what's right 
The time has come 
To give up this fight 
Lord I hear your still small voice 
In a childhood vow 
I made my choice 
I hear you say
