Stand in the Light
-
Written for friends who were too tender for this world - Stand in the Light.
I thought I saw her face today
But she already slipped away
We all wanted someone to pay
He started hiding long ago
Sent his light into the shadow
Our sympathy seems so hollow
We all felt left behind
When his world began to unwind
How could we have been so blind
And then we all stood around and said
It was a very good life they led
But was it something we did or said
I can never know
The pain they never showed
I just miss my friends
I want to make amends
Heaven: draw them in!
Let their lives begin.
Let them stand now unafraid
In light and peace that never fades,
And let me meet them where angels surround,
Where all my loved ones one day are found.
