Caught between the middle
I fell to sleep this morning, yesterdy even last night.
Forgot about my problems the pain, of feeling bad.
Yes I know it will be alright.
Looking at these wonders,
of the love and this special delight.
A sight to see you with me,
on a warm summer night.
Could hear love ones talking,
crying and even laughter.
But I never could see, what's going on.
Everyone there was saying good-bye only to me.
As I rose to see who was standing calling my name.
For some odd reason I don't feel the same.
As the voice call out to me,
Saying keep looking forward neither side to side.
Give me your hand, come walk by my side.
Now it is time to see, as they lay my body down.
This earthly house of clay is being buried in the ground.
