Let 'Em Fly

I don't know how long the road is
I will travel from my birth
But I know I'll reach the finish of my journey here on earth
When I sing the final chorus at the end my last song
Know that I was just a stranger here,
I've gone where I belong
Chorus:
I don't want nobody's sorrow
When I have gone away don't you cry
Don't put my body in the ground f
With a stone at where I lay, don't ask why
There's just one thing I will ask Anyone to do or say when I die Take my ashes up the mountain
On some warn1and windy day and let 'em fly Leave those stones up on the hillside
Don't you carve one up for me
Flowers bloom out in the meadows and I say just let 'em be I'll be far from this world's blossoms
And it's tangled mess of thorn
That cut at me and blessed me since the day that I was born
(chorus)
Let 'em fly across the valleys, up the ridges, down the streams
Out across the wild spaces I remembered in my dreams
When you look into the distance say your last goodbyes
As I sail to that horizon and tomorrow's sunrise
I don't want a marble pillar on a cemetery lawn
That's not the way I want to be remembered when I'm gone
I just want to be re1nembered for what kindness
I have shown And the music that I brought into the lives that I have known
(chorus)
Let 'em fly, let 'em fly, let 'em fly across the sky Then say goodbye
