LIVING AFTER DEATH
IT'S LIKE THIS HUGE RELENTLESS WAVE
RAMPAGING TOWARD THE SHORE
SLAMMING ALL IN IT'S PATH
AGAINST WALL AFTER WALL
WITH NO ESCAPE
AND YOU HAVE TO RIDE IT

YOU CAN'T FALL OFF

YOU HAVE TO RIDE IT, TO GO ON
TO LIVE
EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW

YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

IT IS FULL OF
ANGER
PAIN
FURY
LASHING OUT
QUESTION
HATING
RAGING ON

FOR THE LOSS YOU CAN'T SEEM
TO LIVE WITH

FOR THE LOSS YOU DON'T WANT
TO LIVE WITHOUT

BUT THE LONGER YOU RIDE THIS RAGING WAVE
THE EASIER IT GETS TO STAY ON

AFTER AWHILE...IN TIME
TIME..SOME SHORTER FOR OTHERS
TIME..SOME LONGER FOR OTHERS

THE WAVE BEGINS TO SUBSIDE
ITS NOT SO
ANGRY
SO PAINFUL
SO RAGING
SO LONELY
SO VERY BIG

BUT IT GETS TO KNOW YOUR LOSS
IT LETS YOU SLOWLY BE ABLE TO GO FORWARD
WITH YOUR LIFE
WITHOUT THAT LOST PERSON
SLOWLY
ONE DAY
AT A TIME

YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND
THE LOSS
BUT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH IT

ONE DAY

WHEN THAT RAGING WAVE EBBS
SLOWLY
GENTLY
TO THAT FAR AWAY SHORE

WHERE ANGELS WAIT WITH OPEN WINGS
TO LET YOU KNOW
IT IS OKAY..TO GO ON
TO LET YOU KNOW
YOU ARE NOT ALONE

THEY WANT YOU TO GO ON
LIVING
TILL YOU MEET AGAIN...
