Fly free of care

Lift your wings toward the sky

Stretch them high

Cause of you we have lifted up our eyes

Cause of you we have soften our hearts

Pain has been eased in your arms and words

The turn of history has been lightened

The times has changed watching you

It's pages have been completed

Your wall of writings avail us all as heaven beckons

Your shield was our fortune

Into the sun and beyond the moon

Fly high, fly free sister friend fly home
