You fought hard
Ten years longer than they gave you
And time has come to take you
Before I let you go, there's one more wish
Oh, I promised we would do it
Some would say it's foolish
But they will never know
I'll take you on a helicopter ride
Get a glimpse of what it will be like
When you take to the skies
We're going on a helicopter ride
Before you slip the strands of life
Before we say goodbye
From up there
You see the rivers shape the valleys
Like the stories of our families
The strength you brought to bear all these tales
Told through the smoke of campfires
Some were truthful, some were damn liars
The mountain doesn't care
You will take your place in your mother's mother's legend
Forever as this mountain
Forever as this mountain
I'll take you on a helicopter ride
Get a glimpse of what it will be like
When you take to the skies
We're going on a helicopter ride
'Fore you slip the final strands of life
Before we say goodbye
Goodbye
