I’ve seen it all
There’s nothing to fear
The breaking of the last wall
When I am not here
One day it will end
But my friends,
My foes,
We all go
We will be together again

I have lived the best of lives
I no longer have fear
Time is coming
I am grateful for the years
Science is proof; love is proud
The answers I have now found

I forgive the sins of those
Who lied, who cheated, and who stole
Such actions are not my chosen path
I move on, leave those things behind
May those actions be your last
I am free of all the time

In this world, all these things
In my new life, they will be missed
All my foes and all my friends
All is equal in the end

I’ll take it all
The everything
The joy outweighs the suffering
The good, the bad, the happy, the sad
It’s better to have loved and lost
Than to have never had
