I see their faces sadness in their eyes
Shaking down with sorrow and fright
Gathered around my body tears streaming down
I want to speak but my strength has drowned
God why have you left me here to fade?
I've lost this battle and I feel betrayed
I'm still holding tight to the edge of my life
What kind of plan is this to let me die
These things in my body beeping my life's refrain
Whispering secrets of a relentless pain
I question why this growth inside
Takes away my breath and stole my pride
God why have you left me here to fade?
I've lost this battle and I feel betrayed
I'm still holding tight to the edge of my life
What kind of plan is this to let me die
I've lived long enough but still had time
No happy ending in the movie of my life
I was young and strong and life was feeling right
Now I'm a burden a dead weight to those around
God why have you left me here to fade?
I've lost this battle and I feel betrayed
I'm still holding tight to the edge of my life
What kind of plan is this to let me die
Through the window I see the sky
Birds in flight as the world goes by
My soul longs to join them to be free at last
Beyond this room where I quietly lie
God why have you left me here to fade?
I've lost this battle and I feel betrayed
I'm letting go now I'm starting to fly
Today I'll get my freedom but I'll have to die
I close my eyes and feel the end near
The love of my family so bittersweet and dear
Sorry to my widow and orphan my time at an end
For me no more sorrow for you only pain
As I slip away my soul takes flight
To that open window into the light
To you that I love
This is my goodbye
As I slip away my soul takes flight
To that open window into the light
To you that I love
This is my goodbye
