Song Description

Saying goodbye to a good friend who died of cancer who fought the good fight

Lyrics

Godspeed by Andy Budd - Copyright 2009

I got the call this morning, that your pain gave way to peace
That He wrapped you in his loving arms and brought you sweet release
One man in a million fights until the very end
You were one in a million, and I'm proud you were my friend

Reflecting on the times we shared for twenty somthin' years
And how our egos often clashed but out friendship persevered

Chorus:
So, I raise a glass to you my friend
for the courage you displayed
For the way you lived your life,
The way you worked and the way you played
The angels are rejoicing now,
your earthly dues are paid
So I raise a glass to you my friend
Godspeed you on your way

I thought of all the friends I have, just because of you
How on more than one occasion, you came to my rescue
I shed a few selfish tears for a friend and friendship lost
I'll say farewell reluctantly, as we hand you back to God

And we'll all come together to celebrate your time with us
And listen to the stories from the hearts of those you touched

Repeat Chorus

Instrumental

Finish:
I raise a glass to you my friend
Your earthly dues are paid
My love and prayers go with you now,
God Speed you on your way
