Just before he leaves, he reassures his loved ones who remain after him with the words of consolation: 'in my mind all is beautIful'. The theme would fit perfectly for funeral. The piece is available in the following arrangements : - for SATB Choir & piano. - for SSA Choir & piano. - for Solo voice, SAT choir & piano. - for Solo voice & Piano. As the piece hasn't been performed by a choir yet, you can listen to the original version. Here are the lyrics: Calmly, my soul is ready to go. Now, it is TIme to say 'Goodbye'. Yes, it is TIme to say 'Goodbye'. in my mind all is beautIful. in my mind, all is beautIful in my mind. Still my heart is so close to your heart, But the TIme comes to say 'Goodbye'. Sadly, it's TIme to say 'Goodbye'. in my mind all is beautIful. And from up there, I will ask all the angelsTo take care of you my love. And, I will pray every day and I will wait 'Til you come find me above.  ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
