verse one
the time has arrived for me to go
away from the world i've come to know
and when i come back i will come back to you
you're in all that i am and in all that i do
and so as i go to a far away place
let me remember the smile on your face
may the last thing i see be your beautiful smile
the last beautiful thing i will see for a while

verse two
remember always that destiny waits
cling to the hope that this future creates
we'll live happily ever after in bliss
on the other side of this wilderness
and when i am gone remember me
know this is the way that it has to be
remember that there is always tomorrow
and seek out the joy hidden within the sorrow

chorus
this is the call to which i volunteered
but soon it is over so wait for me here
you'll always be safe nothing can hurt you
you're never alone i'll never desert you
so wait for me here while i'm away
i'll be with you soon don't be afraid
this is my home and you are my girl
this i'll defend to the end of the world

verse three
you'll always be smart you'll always be strong
you'll always be beautiful i'm never wrong
you'll always be perfect you'll always be pure
you'll always succeed and you'll always endure
every inch of you glitters every part of you's gold
you're everything i need as i'm growing old
and as i leave here for lands far away
know i will miss you i wish i could stay

chorus
this is the call to which i volunteered
but soon it is over so wait for me here
you'll always be safe nothing can hurt you
you're never alone i'll never desert you
so wait for me here while i'm away
i'll be with you soon don't be afraid
this is my home and you are my girl
this i'll defend to the end of the world
