death is for the living
for the dead they do not cry
they are not here to mourn themselves
they already know why

death is for the living
allowing us time to mourn and mend
the fences and the memories
of those gone before us,, to the end

death is for the living
but don't let it take you that long
to tell someone you love them
even if they've known it all along


*****************************************

it feels as if you've been snatched away
to quickly,, much to young
before you had the time to live
before your song was sung

it seems as if the time we had
was way to short,, and then
i realize you've just gone home
and i'll be seeing you again...

when my time comes, i wont be afraid
'cause i know you're waiting there
to catch up on all the time we missed
in this little room downstairs

we'll talk, and laugh, and reminisce
we'll share memories, and whats more
we'll have forever to learn the things
we should have known before

i might be slow in coming
but i know that you will wait
to greet me,, arms wide open
when we meet, at heavens gate
