i watched you die
though you had always been there
since i first came into this world
outside people smile
i ask - why this deep blue sky?
when you have left this world today
does it not know when to weep?
all my life i've looked up to you
a humble old man who always knew
no one can ever be closer to god than you
so who could fill this void
i still can't believe that you are not around
that your warm voice won't make another sound
sure i understand, but i never will accept
that you should be gone
i watched you die
and i have feared this moment
since i was just a child
so why that sunny sky?
when my beloved grandfather
lies dead here cold and still? |
