“Into the West”

I love this song, it was from the Lord of the Rings – by Annie Lennox. Here are the lyrics. What an amazing story and tale of such wisdom and imagination…. J.R.R  Tolkien , what a guy…….This song was  in the 3rd installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy when frodo’s journey was coming to an end and was going to a place called heaven but he let his friends know they will see him again soon.  He had been succumbed by evil of holding the ring but had been on a incredible journey and became a legend because it was far too different than the life he should have lived, “the normal hobbit life”,  But destiny chose him to save the world….and he did.  He wanted to go to a place where he can have another chance to be fully happy again.
Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You have come to journey’s end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across a distant shore
Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away

Safe in my arms
You’re only sleeping

What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn
To silver-glass
A light on the water
All souls pass

Hope fades
Until the world of night
Through shadows’ falling
Out of memory and time
Don’t say
We have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again

And you’ll be here in my arms
Just sleeping

What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn
To silver-glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West

 

I found a video in Sign Language for both hearing and Deaf to enjoy.  It brings tears every time i watch it. She signs so beautiful.
