Lifted

If my time is cut,
oh the rainbow string, braided in brass and ivy

If my time runs out, I want to take my time
and be lively.

Call my father, tell him I don't care what he's done or failed to do
My little brother needs a sister but mostly he needs you.
So go and give him what I never had, let him know your there
take him to your younger days show him that you care.

Call my love, have him by my side, I want to take a walk,
and tell him all the gentle things he should want and talk.
Just talk.

I want a wedding, a thin taffeta gown and be married
by my favorite priest, I want to use this as my vow

Miss me when I'm gone, but keep my life still going
do something that you love, keep your beauty showing
always be polite, dont let time go by fast
carry my baby tell him or her about me even if I don't ask
do things that'd make your mama proud
go sailing in the wind
ride a horse bareback
love each person as your only friend
so when your time is up you won't have but few regrets live your life
accordingly and never ever forget your inspiration, my short life
but know you'll always have me right there by your side someday you'll see
but right now
do it all for me

My best friends let dance away the night, each of us all young and innocent and bright
I don't want sadness I want to celebrate so don't cry for me
party by the bay.

and when the sun comes up, I'll be shining down, the morning star
the light thats glowing down.

I want my mom to find true love, never hate god, know she did her best
and keep me in her heart but don't die with me dont give up, there is so much more to see
so many people need your love
The girl who knows me best will give you my baby, send my regards on its birth, make sure it's daddy knows this is what I wanted this is how it's supposed to go

and I'll miss you, but It'll be ok, I've miles to go, but I'll see you again someday.
some day.
