Day 24 – Song That You Want Played at Your Funeral
Tyrone Wells – When All Is Said and Done
My relgion wouldn’t really permit music to be played at my funeral. I would hope, though, that whoever winds up buring me, many years from now, would know that I don’t care much for proper religious protocol. I also wouldn’t really want too many sad songs played. I’d want whoever survives me to celebrate my life and not mourn my death, because I love life. That said, if a sadder song was needed, I’d choose this one. The lyrics speak for themselves..
“When all is said and done, And I’m looking back upon this race I’ve Run
And when my heart gives in, I know you’ll be beside me precious friend
It’s just the same from the begining to the end
When all is said and done
And if I lose my way, and I wander down this open road for days
And if the sun should fall, and the dancing we once did becomes a crawl
Let the memories move like shadows on the wall, If I lose my way
When I’m coming home, and I walk across the bridge of death alone
I will fix my eyes on the one who’s waiting at the other side
It’s my old friend with countless others there beside
When I’m coming home…”
