Waved Goodbye
Back in a box his body they will now bring
Who to us meant more than anything
As a soft, peaceful song we now sing
For us he died and gave his everything.
We will start to tremble and spirit sag
When we see his coffin covered with a flag
And then in front of us it will pass by
While I still continue to question why.
Body of one I love is here close and near
Memories of him don't want to disappear
Soul of this person shall obtain pure ecstasy
Now in heaven and perfect pace to be.
To find right words around often do fumble
Trying to say how you should be humble
Expressing feelings regarding those who died
In heaven again is where they will abide
From God, for me, his chariot just came
And on it in bold letters was my name
Tears of loved ones below started to dry
I looked back at them and waved goodbye.
Again some day in heaven we shall meet
I will be sure to save you a soft seat
Saw all the souls which were passing by
Number expands after each new supply.
