Loyal
Here in the coffin my grandfather lies
Through muffled breaths I release my cries
Though inside my heart he never truly dies
I requested a song from the angels in the skies
As the choir of angels in heaven sing
I heard my grandfather's doorbell ring
His precious old wife was still standing there
Emotionally marred she couldn't bear
His death was a reality she couldn't stand
But stands there she for her old man
If she can stand up strong then so can I
As I once said his legacy will never die
As I made my way to the city square
I heard the crying of many people there
A handful of men stood next to his bride
Worthy men of God who stood by his side
The dedication to their fellow man they knew
For even in death, he had the most loyal crew
On horseback we rode to where his coffin layed
And kneeling down to God we prayed
To remember this life for him who gave
Love liberty and carried these to the grave
