**(Verse 1)** I was born from earth and light, With open heart and honest eyes. I dreamed so big, I lived so true, Found love in little things I knew. I learned that life can break apart, That people cry with broken hearts And no one even sees the pain. But I kept on believing still, No matter how cruel fate could feel, That after every darkest night A new tomorrow waits in light. **(Pre-Chorus)** I never hid my wounds from view, I carried them the whole way through. And what the pain has taught to me, I leave with you, so you will see. **(Chorus)** [male and female duet harmony vocals] Be good yourself, let peace grow, Plant a seed wherever you go. Give some love, dry a tear, Even when no one is near. For what you give will always live, Love will not fade with time. My last song is not goodbye, But a light that stays by your side. **(Verse 2)** No grand display, no golden crown, My riches lived in common ground. A helping hand, a word that heals, A door left open for the lost who kneel. I was a daughter, woman, mother too, A child who sometimes felt afraid like you. But through the years, through grief and sorrow, I softened deep inside, And learned to love even more in time. **(Pre-Chorus 2)** Though life has caused me pain before, I learned to not grow hard once more. For those who only strike back blind, Will lose the peace and love they try to find. **(Chorus)** [male and female duet harmony vocals] Be good yourself, let peace grow, Plant a seed wherever you go. Give some love, dry a tear, Even when no one is near. For what you give will always live, Love will not fade with time. My last song is not goodbye, But a light that stays by your side. **(Bridge - soulful, slow)** And if you ever miss me, Look to a flower in the garden bloom. I'm never really gone, you see, As long as you think of me. I live as long as you think of me. When you look up at night on high, Know that in dreams I found my peace. I believed in a place of love, Where no soul is lonely anymore. And I hope when all roads meet as one, I will be standing there for you, With a smile upon my face, And my arms wide open. **(Chorus - big and warm - spoken - female voice)** Be good yourself, let peace grow, Plant a seed wherever you go. Give some love, dry a tear, Even when no one is near. For what you give will always live, Love will not fade with time. My last song is not goodbye, For love will never say goodbye. **(Outro - almost spoken / sung)** I was not always strong... but I tried to be good. I was not without pain... but I chose love. And if there is one thing I want to leave you... Be good yourself. Then peace will grow. Be good, let peace bloom. Be good, let peace bloom. Be good, let peace bloom. Be good, let peace bloom. (Outro) [male and female duet harmony vocals] (In every heart she touched and knew, Her legacy of love shines through. A wise woman’s gentle way, Living still in light today.)
