When I come to the end of the road,
And the sun has set for me, I want no rites or gloom filled room,
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little-but let me go For this is a journey we all must take,
And ench must go alone It is all a part of the Master’s plan,
A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends we know. and bury your sorrow in doing good deeds,
Miss-me-but let me go.
