-- LYRICS --

I leave this world 
With a glint in my eye 
I've untold all of my lies 
And all the joy 
I leave behind 
I'll miss you too 
Love of mine 
 
Today no tombstone
No goodbyes
My soul is full 
Watch it fly 
When I return
Prodigal son 
This wounded world 
Will be as one 
 
Be as one 
 
I leave this world 
A hopeful song 
Without a tear 
I will prolong 
My bruises healed 
My scars are gone
And every beating 
Made me strong 
So please don’t cry 
Don’t think it's wrong 
My soul is pure 
It sings along 
When I return 
A better me 
You'll see that sorrow can set you free
 
Set you free 
Set you free 
(I’ll set you free)
Set you free 
(I’ll set you free)
 
I leave this world to you all 
The constellations will never fall 
And if you’re fearful 
Bare no mind 
The sun will rise
Heed your call
 
No open casket
No sullen wake 
Your will heart will mend 
If you break 
So without greed
Without pride
Shout I'm alive 
I am alive
 
(I’ll set you free)
I am alive 
(I’ll set you free)
I am alive
(I’ll set you free)
I am alive 
(I’ll set you free)
I am alive 
 
(I’ll set you free)
(I’ll see you free)
