It may seem like the end of the world whenever I go,
And it may be hard for such a young girl, but believe me I know
That I’m going to where I belong,
And I’m leaving you with this song.
I am sure that someday you’ll be happy,
And that you’ll be strong.
Though it may seem as if life is unkind when I go away,
I’ll still be right there on your mind throughout every day.
If it seems that life is unfair
Or that maybe God doesn’t care,
If you need me just call out my name,
And I will be there.
If there’s bad dreams that come in the night and make you afraid,
Remember even though I’m out of sight, a part of me stayed.
Just as long as I’m there in your heart,
There is no way that we’ll ever part,
And you’ll always feel the same love
That you’ve known from the start.
Don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t cry
Whenever you come to say goodbye.
There’s no way they can understand
Your feelings, my friend.
Don’t let anybody tell you that you shouldn’t go,
Because there’s no way that they could know
That you’ll be strong enough to stand
On your own at the end.
