It feels like the song’s lyrics are her final message to everyone even though it was released back in 2016.
“When they lay me down someday
My soul will rise and fly away
This whole world will turn around
I’ll be at peace when they lay me down.”
It’s comforting to think that Loretta left this beautiful song that even future generations can listen to.
