Lay me in the Hatchet Field
Give my body to the earth
Flowers will grow where you lay my bones
In summer you can gather them home
Don't mourn for me, I am not gone
I live on in those petals and leaves
How much land does a man need
Little more than his head to his feet
So lay me down on the sweet sweet ground
Under skies where the birds fly high
Don't mourn for me, I am not gone
I live on, the wind that finds wing
Don't stand and weep at my cold dead feet
The flora and fauna will take care of me
Use this place to dance and sing
Give my name to the summer wind
Don't mourn for me, I am not gone
For I am free, at last I'm free
Flowers will grow where you laid my bones
In summer you can gather me home
