Time For Healing

Suffer no more my brothers 
My sisters and my friends.
We're in a better place now
Where every journey ends.

You didn't mourn us just in case
But now you found us in this place.
Mourn for us, but no longer dwell
In the house of pain you know too well.

Rise now from the gnawing truth.
Surpass the stunning grief.
Tap in to the living strength 
And the power of our belief.

Be the passion in our hearts
Extinguished with our flame.
Show them what we could have been.
Let them have their shame.

Suffer no more my mother
My father and my kin.
We're right here next to you
Right where we've always been.
