[Intro] ......(Soft felt acoustic piano swell and weeping solo cello) ......"You can rest now... your work is done." [Verse 1: Intimate Felt Piano & Solo Cello] Your wool coat hangs beside the door Your boots upon the wooden floor The mantel clock keeps ticking on To tell us that your pain is gone A quiet room, a sudden peace A gentle breath of sweet release The hands that worked through every year Are resting now, unbroken here [Pre-Chorus 1: Warm Chamber Strings Enter] We spent so long inside the fight Holding your hand into the night No more sorrow, no more strain The world is washed of all your pain [Chorus: Uplifting Harmonic Swell, Deep Comfort] Rest now, you’ve carried every weight We watch the evening through the gate We keep your place in all we do In every kindness learned from you! Your love remains within our chest Lie down in peace, you earned your rest! [Verse 2: Fingerpicked Acoustic Guitar & Cello Counter-Melody] The winter garden waits in frost Where not a single seed is lost I see your patience in the trees I hear your laughter in the breeze You taught us how to stand up tall To give our love and give our all The stories told around the bread Will keep the words you gently said [Pre-Chorus 2: Chamber Strings Swell With Emotion] We let you go with open hands Across the peaceful quiet lands No more sorrow, no more strain The world is washed of all your pain [Chorus: Uplifting Harmonic Swell, Deep Comfort] Rest now, you’ve carried every weight We watch the evening through the gate We keep your place in all we do In every kindness learned from you! Your love remains within our chest Lie down in peace, you earned your rest! [Instrumental Break - Weeping Solo Cello & Gentle Fingerpicked Martin Guitar] [Bridge: Music Drops to Solo Felt Piano, Tender & Tearful] When morning finds your empty chair We set the cup and speak your name You never asked for gold or fame Just gave your life to light the flame And in our tears we finally see How rich a life of love can be! [Final Chorus: Maximum Emotional Warmth, Full Angelic Choir] Rest now, you’ve carried every weight We watch the evening through the gate We keep your place in all we do In every kindness learned from you! Your love remains within our chest Lie down in peace, you earned your rest! [Outro: Stripped to Soft Felt Piano and Gentle Solo Cello] The sun goes down, the shadows cease Lie down in everlasting peace ......"Go gently into the light... we love you." ......(Fade out on peaceful cello chord and quiet sustained piano)
