Planning for the future

“To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.”
-Albus Dumbledore

Four songs for the final scenes. 

Landslide
by Stevie Nicks

I took my love, I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
'Til the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too

Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too
Oh! I'm getting older too

Oh-oh, take my love, take it down
Oh-oh, climb a mountain and you turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well, the landslide'l bring it down
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well, the landslide'l bring it down

Oh-ohh, the landslide bring it down


Spirit in the sky

by Norman Greenbaum


When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best


Prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
Gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go when you die
When you die and they lay you to rest
You're gonna go to the place that's the best


Never been a sinner I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up with
The spirit in the sky
Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best



Here Beside Me


by the Henry Girls
with Inishowen Gospel Choir

You with me, here beside me
Is all I really need
I'm asking one thing only
That you will always stay close to me

I will be true, in sunshine and shade
Troubles behind no longer dismayed
I'm going back to the mountain
It's where I long to be

You with me, here beside me
Is all I really need
I'm asking one thing only
That you will always stay close to me

I will be true, in sunshine and shade
Troubles behind no longer dismayed
I'm going back to the mountain
Where I long to be

I'm going back to the ocean
To put my mind at ease


by Alan Jackson

Some glad morning when this life is overI'll fly awayTo a home on God's celestial shoreI'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh, GloryI'll fly awayWhen I die, Hallelujah, by and byI'll fly away
Just a few more weary days and thenI'll fly awayTo a land where joy shall never endI'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh, GloryI'll fly awayWhen I die, Hallelujah, by and byI'll fly away
Yeah, when I die, Hallelujah, by and byI'll fly away
