 Don't weep for me because I'm with my Father, 
And in my Father's house there is no sorrow, 
For I suffer no more, 
Blessed be the name of the Lord, 
For I can walk and have no pain. 

So don't weep for me for I'm still in your hearts. 
Think about the hugs and kisses, 
And the love that I have for each of you. 
My Father says He will never leave us and 
He will never forsake us. 

So don't weep for me, 
For each day is a blessing and so are memories. 
So don't weep for me, 
Give God the praises and the glory, 
Because I am FREE.
