Go Gentle Lyrics

Go Gentle

(Verse I)

When I stand at the foot of the mountain
Is there a train to ride?
When I sail to the edge of the darkness
Is there light on the other side?
Is there life beyond this body?
Will I always be somebody?
Across the great divide.

(Chorus)

And when you come, come softly
Unto eternal light;
And when you go, go gentle
Into that good night.

(Verse II)

Never were we not, my child
And we shall always be
From love did you come in the beginning
And love will set you free
You were broken as the great wheel rolled
Now you are to be made whole
When you come home to me.

(Bridge)

And we shall live forever
Love shall conquer death;
And light shall shine in darkness
And life be given breath.

(Verse III)

Time is a restless ocean
Give me wings to sail;
May my days all follow your footsteps
My hours walk your trail;
In each moment like the wind
Let me see the light within
That shines beyond the veil.

(Chorus)
