For the Benefit of All My Friends

For the benefit of all my friends
My time is coming to an end
No longer will I burden them
No longer will I trust in them

For the benefit of all my loves
You have done the best you could
Only I can save myself
So spend your time on someone else

For the benefit of all my family
I swear to break from the fam'ly tree
And take all of my fruit with me
So you won't have to bother me

For the benefit of those who care
The stars are waiting for me there
The land does call to bring me near
So fret not for what I'm to endure
Look after yourselves
and nothing more

For the benefit of souls gone by
I'll not be joining you tonight
You're left free to swoop through the air
Just know you can't give me a scare

For the benefit of all my friends
This night is coming to an end
And when the trees do hold me close
Know that I am at last home

And if you fret to see me leave
Know my home is with the trees
Know my heart is with the seas
Know my soul is with the storm
And know that I
am at last reborn

really REALLY beautiful...and sad...and elegant...but believe me, it would not benefit us if your time came to an end!!! we'd be without the pretty words of yours.

this really is awesome. awesome.
