Lyrics
On the day I 'll die
Tell my sisters not to cry
On the day I 'll die
Tell my brothers, not to say goodbye
Put my body beneath the rye
But let my soul inside the sky
Put my body beneath the rye
But let me be a butterfly
Bury me just like a seed
Grow a tree from what I bleed
Bury me just like a seed
So I can grow, above the greed
On the day I 'll die
Come and sing your lullabies
On the day I 'll die
No more laments, dry your eyes
Let me fly into the light
Into the sun, so warm and bright
Let me fly into the light
And not go gentle into the night
And I 'll rest near those I love
And I 'll watch them from above
And I 'll rest near those I love
And I 'll watch them from above
