I saw the seven arrows flying by I saw Heaven's angels up on high With their wings outstretched to fill the sky
Right before my eyes I watched the arrows strike his side Delivering him from this world into the afterlife Never thought I'd live to see the day When a friend of mine so close was taken so far away
I suppose that death is part of life and the fact is life goes on Even when those dear to you are now forever gone Lay his body down to rest under the Bracken fern You were like a father taught me everything I've learned
As I lay upon the earth in the darkness of the night A bed of moss beneath, I cast my gaze onto the sky Never thought I'd live to see the day When a friend of mine so close was taken so far away
