i have this, a handful of earth
and i softly let it slip from my hand
till it had all but kissed the coffin
and feel the loss now more then ever

but brother its ok to see the other place
the one we have heard so much about
and you will return to our creator
and back to the earth that birthed our fathers

but by now you have probably forgotten
and you are on your way to the skies
by me im blind from all the pain in my life
and its so hard to see you go if only you knew

Just me and them, how much we could miss you
and our tears fall a short distance to the floor
like the rain drops that  slip back into the ground
like us all one day, but still i feel the sting

i feel the loneliness of a forever loss
and i dont know how it is on the other side
but damn you, you better be smiling
and maybe it was or wasnt, but i miss you here

i cannot hear you
i cannot see you
i cannot feel you
and i wish you were here
