Gone Away

You've gone away,

and now you're not here with us anymore.

That's okay.

We all know you're somewhere with the Lord.

 

While we're all sitting down here trying to figure it out.

You're up there looking down at us now.

 

And here we are

Trying hard to get through the day

Each of us wishing that there was a way

to bring you back,

but you've gone away.

 

We're still here

wondering how we'll make it through this time.

We shed our tears

because you brought to us a brighter life.

 

While we're falling down here trying to figure it out,

you're reaching down from heaven, and you're holding us up now!

 

And here we are

Crying so hard as we miss you today.

Every one of us wishing there was a way

to bring you back...

 

but you've gone away from this evil world

from all the pain and the hurt that we see.

You're making your way up those golden streets

making a way for all of us including me.

 

And here we are

living our lives as we dearly miss you so.

Every one of us waiting for the day

when we get to see you again my friend,

but for now I'll keep wishing for a way

to bring you back...

because you've gone away.

 

You've gone away.

You've gone away.

 

And here we are

Just trying to get through our day...
