In Passing



Well my time has come
To leave this place under the sun
Thanks for the dreams
And

There have been tough days
And times of despair
But throughout all of that
I've tossed hope to the air

Now the sun has set
It's time for me to say goodbye
To all my hopes and dreams
And those who have helped me to survive

Please don't forget
The pacts we have made
All the love and memories
I will take to the grave

It's time to continue on
With all that you do
And just one more thing
I will always love you
