Halfway Home

When your heart beats and mine no longer can, I'll be flying into peace into heavens open land At the coming of dawn as night's beauty falls away, I'll take one last breath looking forward into day Gorging on the sight  as the sun begins to rise,  I'll remember all of life through veils of all my sighs I'll weep for could have beens for the times I failed you all, taking on the all sins of life a saviours penance is my call The gentle moments birth when your eyes opened wide, I felt the purest love of all I had held you all close inside As first steps began to run and falls and tears fell free, running with your arms out you'd run to mummy, me Loving you more than life I was probably a little nuts, protecting you with all I had was finally showing guts Then the slide into insanity crept up and mauled my mind, I hated what I had become how could I be "that kind" Somehow we made it through the mantels of hardship and pain, and going onto to live a life I hardly could have dreamed Given one last wish I'd had to think awhile, But after little pondering I'd ask to see you smile Watching you grow old isn't in the God's plan, my children stay a course of the common man I'd love to see your children watch them walk the earth, these babies I'll guard over from moments of their birth Dont be a little bit sad dont think your missing me how can you really miss what's already halfway free
