When the time does come, for you and me
Let our ashes be mixed in harmony
Take us up to the highest hill
When springtime winds, blow with eerie shrill

Open the box, where we do lie
Send our remains to the very sky
Through hill and valley, over water soar
Still, mixed together, we beat death’s door

In life we lived, in death we stay
Till time does come, in Judgment day
No one knows what we did face
In life’s long battle to win the race

The times were hard, the times were good
But in each other, we understood
We knew no fear of yawning death’s door
For in the winds, we would eventually soar
