Far off in the Distance
Far off in the distance
There’s a land of green and gold
A place where you are healthy
A place you don’t grow old
I wonder if you’re there now
A crown upon your hair
I wonder if you’re smiling
As you look down on us, stuck here
I know that you are grateful
Your family loved you so
I’m guessing you are happy
Actually, that I know
I’m sure you’re feeling fine now
And I trust you are okay
Never in our minds will we
Forget this awful day
And now the world is your looking glass
A memory of where you were
I don’t know why these things happen
But that you’re missed, I am sure
And as you stand and smile
With your face into the sun
I wonder if you realize
How much it’s possible to love someone
