I Still Can Hear
I am surrounded by family, surrounded by love
all awaiting for me, that call from above
as the pauses get much longer and the beats further apart
tears are shed and fears a dread as he slowly takes my heart
but I want you all to know, even through the sobs and tears
my soul still hears each word you say and I hear you love shout, loud and clear
though you see an empty shell of what used to be a man
I can hear you all, feel your tears drop on my hand
I can
I can hear your wishes and I can hear all your regrets
but let go of all those feelings, cause I am in all of your debts
for not everyone's as lucky, to feel so much love as they die
some have no one there at all, some have no one there to cry
when my soul leaves my body, know that I am feeling blessed
because I have all of your love here to lay me down to rest.
