Journey to Eternity: Jeff Wasserman's Tribute to Life Beyond
Lyrics
Onward To Avalon
Beginning the journey to Avalon
Lyrics by Jeff Wasserman
Credits the lyrics to Jeff Wasserman
Friends and loved ones gathered by your bedside,
Close friends and family surrounding the person
And held your hand to help you on your way
Supporting the person in their final moments
Into the beautiful, marvelous, wonderful,
Describing Avalon as beautiful, marvelous, and wonderful
No more sorrow, no more trouble, no more pain
Emphasizing the end of sorrow, trouble, and pain
Onward to Avalon,
Continuing the journey to Avalon
Onward behind the sun
Progressing beyond the sun
We understand you had to travel on
Recognizing the inevitability of the person's departure
And get your harp restrung ... Levon
Mentioning getting the harp restrung for Levon
I guess it all flashed by as you floated out
Reflecting on life as it passed by during departure
To Rick and Richard waiting on the other side,
Referencing Rick and Richard, possibly friends on the other side
Y'all had a lot of fine times to talk about
Recalling enjoyable times to share with others on the other side
With angels by your side.
Imagining the presence of angels during the transition
Onward to Avalon,
Continuing the journey to Avalon
Our American son,
Referring to the departed as an American son
We all knew you had to travel on
Acknowledging the necessity of the person's travel
And get your harp restrung ... Levon
Mentioning getting the harp restrung for Levon
You left your mark
Recognizing the lasting impact left by the departed
on so many hearts,
Describing the depth of emotional connection
deeper than you reckoned from the start
Highlighting the impact from the beginning
and you'll live on when the rest of us our gone
Expressing the enduring legacy beyond the departure
Onward to Avalon,
Continuing the journey to Avalon
Onward behind the sun
Advancing beyond the sun
We understand you had to travel on
Acknowledging the inevitability of the person's departure
And get your harp restrung ...
Mentioning getting the harp restrung
Onward to Avalon,
Continuing the journey to Avalon
Our American son
Referring to the departed as an American son
We all knew you had to travel on
Acknowledging the necessity of the person's travel
And get your harp restrung ... Levon
Mentioning getting the harp restrung for Levon
Sail on ... Levon
Concluding with a farewell, "Sail on ... Levon"
