And I felt myself going
I was in a great deal of pain, it was a very frightening experience, but I began to slip
I just sort of, feel myself going, and I remember trying to hold on... I'll be ok, I'll be ok
And it got to the point where I just couldn't... And everything began to just become very quiet
And I can remember with every ounce of strength I had I wanted to say goodbye to my wife, it was important to me
And I did, I remember just turning my head, looking at her and saying... I'm gonna die, goodbye Joan... and I did
It was then that I experienced... experienced what we call a near death experience, for me there was nothing near about it, it was there
It was a total immersion in light, brightness, warmth, peace, security
I did not have an out-of-body experience, I did not see my body or anyone about me, I just immediately went into this beautiful bright light
It's difficult to describe, matter of fact it's impossible to describe
Verbally it cannot be expressed, it's something which becomes you and you become it
I could say that I was peace, I was love, I was the brightness... It was part of me
Goodbye my friend
Love will never end
And I feel like you
And I breathe all truth
Love is the lifebreath of all I see
Love is the truelight inside of me
And I know you somehow
As I hold you in my heart
In my heart
There's a fire in the sky
And I know it's you
(Senses following me)
There's a light that's so bright
And I know it's you
And I dream like you
Cause I believe in truth
For I was always there
And I will always be there
And it's just so beautiful
It was eternity
It's like... I was always there, and I will always be there
That my existence on earth was just a very brief instant
I could say that I was peace, I was love, I was the brightness... It was part of me
