The coffin…
The church…
The cross…
A dead man sleeping in his box…

The hymns…
The prayers…
The cold…
Got to keep strong, have to be so bold…

The emotions…
The hurt…
The tears…
Carried so much, all these years…

The strangers…
The family…
The friends…
Who will care, when our life ends…

The faithful…
The faithless…
The ones in between…
All our futures are unforeseen…

The silence…
The car…
The flowers…
Overwhelming sadness, simply devours…

The hole…
The dirt…
The rose…
Hear a voice whisper, as the dark wind blows…

Your support…
Your kiss…
Your hand…
With you by my side, I truly am a better man…
