[Verse 1]
If you see the light before the dawn, don’t be afraid
Every breath I took was a seed you gave
Now I’m just a whisper in the memories we made
Still beside you, even when I fade
Don’t let sorrow steal your days
My soul’s just travelin’ through a brighter way
The door I walk through ain’t far away
It’s home — and where I’ll always stay

[Pre-Hook – tender reassurance]
Don’t cry for me, my love, I’m free
You gave me all I’ll ever need
If you close your eyes, you’ll see
I’m right there in your memory

[Hook – celestial, mid-tempo AfroSoul rhythm]
I’ll be glad to walk away
Into new paradise
Just let me know when this is over, over
I’ll be glad to walk away
Into new paradise
Just wake me up when it’s over, over

[Verse 2 – legacy and love]
Tell the children, “Keep the faith alive”
Every prayer you whispered kept me in the light
Don’t wear black; wear the colors that I liked
Celebrate this whole flight, not just the goodbye
Love don’t stop where bodies part
The rhythm still plays in your heart
Every time the sunrise starts
That’s me — right where you are

[Pre-Hook – heavenly promise]
When your day feels long, look high
My peace will paint your sky
I’m not gone — I just arrived
In the home where souls don’t die

[Hook – full choir backing / drums swell]
I’ll be glad to walk away
Into new paradise
Just let me know when this is over, over
I’ll be glad to walk away
Into new paradise
Just wake me up when it’s over, over

[Bridge – soft lift / worship tone]
No more pain, no fear, no night
Just endless love and holy light
If you listen close, I’m near
Every beat still keeps you here

[Final Hook – emotional release]
I’ll be glad to walk away
Into new paradise
Just let me know when this is over, over
I’ll be glad to walk away
Into new paradise
Just wake me up when it’s over, over

[Vamp / Outro – ethereal fade]
Ah… I’m home now
Heaven’s door wide
Don’t cry, my love
I’m alive on the other side
See you on the other side
I’m alive on the other side
See you on the other side
I’m alive on the other side
See you on the other side
