The voice of my generation

Happiness and sadness intermingle in our hearts Sometimes it feels like we might be falling apart Yet we are reminded of your strength Fight the good fight and never be ashamed A mother and best friend We did our best to be there until the end some of us Sad and a little scared wondering whhere to go from here Then your words pop out of nowhere Something you told your little girl once when she came to this grieving place You've gone to the lords embrace He holds you in eternal grace we can't wait until the time when we can join you and see our lords face You may not be here standing by us but your spirit and our lord god will guide us We are never truly alone you'll be watching over all of us until it is our time to come home

Years ago I left you alone I walked away thinking I would never have to atone Little did I realize some day tears would be in my eyes I would be caught by surprise all along it was you a love hidden but true devistation takes over years too late and miles apart it was you I'd loved from the start you can't turn back time you can't remove the pain You wanted to hang on and I wanted to run scared, alone I thought I was giving you freedom Instead I only caused pain I don't think I can ever remove that shame

Dreams and reality they are all the same to me darkness and light I need only open my sight power and strength given to me in her name rise above the pain destroyed and now renewed pride and deception cast asunder only I can hold myself under with her light she guides me darkness can no longer blind me
