[Verse 1:] I remember when you were born I recall the day The air was frozen But you were warm I guess you're still that way And by the way I've known your face From since the world was young And you were new And I'm proud to say You've walked with grace And never bowed your shoulder But you know we all get older [Chorus:] Lay me down for final sleep Turn the music low Whisper something I can keep And back to birth I shall go [Verse 2:] I have squandered
And I have saved That don't matter now All I need is to be brave And son you've shown me how If there's a light I'll find my way For this is something we're all meant to do I thank you for this joyous day With your sisters And your brothers I can tell you love each other [Chorus:] Gather round so I may speak Hear so you may know I have found all that I seek So back to birth I must go [Outro:] Whoa [La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-a]
