Free from life and safe from the living
No more alive to hear the crying
You're safe in death from the horrors of life
You're safe with the dead and the dying
No harm comes from those people still breathing
No pain can be felt from that sweet sighing
Breath and life are gone from your body
You're safe with the dead and the dying
Though your name and memory bring tears to our eyes
And the thought of our loss starts us crying
We're glad you've escaped the horrors of life
And are safe with the dead and the dying
