Farewell today

Travel on now

Be on your way

Go safely there

And never worry

Never care

Beyond this day



Farewell tonight

To all joy

And to all the light

Go on

Go peacefully

We can't keep your majesty

Be on your way



Make ready for the last king of May

Make a cardboard crown for him

And make your voices one

Praise a crazy mother's son

Who loved his life



Farewell today

travel on now

Be on your way

Can't bear

the very thought that we

That we could keep your majesty

Be on your way



Make ready for the last king of May

Make a hole in the ground for him

Raise your voices up

Drink your loving cup

To his long life

To his long life



Make ready for the last king of May

Make a hole in the sky for him

Raise your voices up

Lift your loving cup

To his long life

To his long life



His long life

And raise your voices up

Lift your loving cup

To his long life

To his long life

To his long life

To his long life
