Goodbye...

The lyrics of this song really hit me today. I'm really bummed that I am leaving soon, but everything except the Lord, His Word, and His people end.

it's difficult to say goodbye after all this time
the rain will fall down replenishing all of our broken dreams
and this burning tree that is withered will bloom again
would you believe
goodbye
walk away it's time to say goodbye
goodbye
walk away it's hard to say goodbye
now all that's left are pictures on the wall
memories and stories that are told
the more often told the bigger they get
create a legacy last we forget
goodbye
walk away it's time to say goodbye
no longer can i hold onto this defeated change in heart
it's time to sing "fare thee well" to life as we know it
my voice it will be still
something woke me up in the midst of dream and fantasy
halfway there but He always fills my cup
and he lifts me up oh how he lifts me up
goodbye
walk away it's time to say goodbye
i never took the time to stop and realize that death takes many forms
even while alive
