When you bury me,
don't make my grave,
a place to come, to stand and stare.
Or where you become sad and sombre.
Locked to the past, to death and passing.

When you bury me,
my wish will be.
That you live your life full and free.
Free from remorse and from the past.
Able to move on and laugh again,
at the good times we spent.

When you bury me,
remember this,
that body there is just my case.
The real me still lives in another way.
Where there is no hate, no pain, no tears.
The place we dreamed this world could be.

When you bury me,
make sure you know,
that my life was not full of woes.
But every day was lived to the full
Fully present, fully involved.
I hope you can do the same.

When you bury me,
don't make my gave,
a place of tears, a place to stay.
Because I will not care if you never visit.
As long as you keep me in your heart.
Until the day we meet again.

When the time has come,

My life on earth is done.

Do not cry,

Do not grieve,

Put me in the ground, say a prayer and leave!
