Palliative Care Through Song
A reflection on permission, peace, and loving release at life’s final threshold

The tide comes in
It whispers low
You’ve held on tight
Now let it go

Your hands are tired
Your spirit knows

Let the ocean take you home
I’ll be here you’re not alone
The waves will sing you lullabies
It’s all right to close your eyes

The sun still sets
In golden fire
The moon still rises
Climbing higher

Don’t carry weight
That’s meant to fall
The stars are waiting
Arms wide open

Every word
Of love unspoken

Let the ocean take you home
I’ll be here you’re not alone
The waves will sing you lullabies
It’s all right to close your eyes

No need to fight
No need to stay
You gave us light
In every way

The wind will guide
Your gentle flight
I’ll be okay

Let the ocean take you home
I’ll be here you’re not alone
The waves will sing you lullabies
It’s all right to close your eyes

Let the ocean take you home
I’ll be here you’re not alone
The waves will sing you lullabies
It’s all right to close your eyes

Let the ocean take you home
It’s all all right
