It's My Time Now To Give Up This Fight


It is my time now to give up this fight

I look at you and there's so much I could say

Stay with me as I go into the night

 

I lay here in bed eyeing a light so bright

I become very weak as I hear you pray

It is my time now to give up this fight

 

The angels I now see are my guiding light

You must hate that I've become death's prey

Stay with me as I go into the night

 

This was an accident, this isn't right

I lay staring at the ceiling cursing this day

It is my time now to give up this fight

 

It's wasn’t my fault that I got shot tonight

Was I supposed to know he was there to slay

Stay with me as I go into the night

 

I feel it; I know it, it's my time to take flight

I'm gasping for breath as my soul starts to fray

It is my time now to give up this fight

Stay with me as I go into the night
