started writing out of my head
thinking what to say now you're gone
the words somehow got stuck
numb throat sometimes
time has passed and now it's listening
waiting to hear from heaven
tell me something has it all gone too fast?
I waited too long, maybe or did I
It's a good time to believe in more than what
you and I could have made together...higher ground calls
let the music speak
our lives intertwined behind the veils
we reach heights that only love could have made
see them growing these seeds of truth
make the water flow God
you know we still need to hear from You
a father came this way and now is gone
left to live in his place
it's not hard to see past mistakes
when the gift left is Love
look around the eyes drop tears sometimes
like rain purifies
brothers find time to speak without words
when strength of mind body and soul are made plain
mothers milk soothed and kept us
now it's time to cross over
letting go comes naturally like locks
twisted all their own
one at a time day by day
the songs of our lives are made
strange fruit lives well past the graves
and the fire this time...
