Don'T Grieve For Me

Don't grieve for me when I am gone Don't stand in awe, thinking that I've fallen down The truth is I was never here in your perfect world I never did fit in your robust life Your lives were full of the things you desired You never really knew me or how I was inspired Don't grieve, don't stand in awe You say you were there, ready to share but you never knew that I had fears or that at night to go to sleep I had to shed some tears You say you loved me But you didn't even know me Don't grieve for me when I am gone Don't stand in awe, thinking that I've fallen down Why is it that you never knew of my gifts, my goodness, of my sorrows, of my pains Were you looking, did you see Now the time has come and gone My presence here was only a loan My time may be short, it may not be It will be my delight my loved ones to see Since they left me I have been so lonely Nobody else had such love for me Did you know; did you care Or did you for my mistakes, only stare Don't grieve for me when I am gone Don't stand in awe, thinking that I've fallen down For me the fall is an uphill journey Don't weep for me when you would not wash my feet When you maintained joy as I greived in defeat During the seasons of my life when you passed me on the street to you I was only a stranger begging for a treat I am taking the road already traveled The road of my Father, see.. I shall not be unraveled Don't grieve for me when I am gone Don't stand in awe, thinking that I've fallen down The stranger, that you did not know the begger that only desired a treat would have washed your feet This stranger could have been the one sent to show that we must all care enough to share another out of dispare
