Until I Go

We’ve lost him, he’s through Oh, but where did he go? I wish I really knew It’s somewhere no one can know Til it’s there time to go too For where he has gone Is a place many try to describe They’ve told the stories so long Their words they’ve tried to transcribe But I know their words may be wrong He’s gone to a place Where no one ever comes back His soul is gone without a trace I think of this as I dress in black Wondering if he still sees my face His body has stayed But he is no longer inside His body will be laid Into a casket for he has died Then into the grave already made I wonder if he saw a light Like many have said Though I don’t know if they’re right For none of them are dead So how could they know his plight? I feel the wind blow Wondering if that’s him saying goodbye Where he has gone I don’t know They say beyond the sky But I won’t know until I too go.
