R.I.P Terry - See You at Sea!
I sat with my Grandma when her time was near
She told me "There's something I want you to hear
Live each day to the fullest, like it was your last
Because our time here rushes by so fast
I've lived a long life, loved each precious day
One day very soon I'll be going away
I'll miss you so much 'til we meet again
In that great new beginning we thought was the end
(Chorus)
We're all like the raindrops that fall from the sky
Tumbling through life as it rushes on by
We see the end coming, we feel when it's near
Sometimes that's a hard thing to face without fear
What we fear as the end is not an end at all
It's a whole new experience, a rest from our fall
No longer alone like we used to be
As raindrops join together in their trip to the sea."
I'll always remember those words that she said
And I no longer fear the meaning of "Dead"
This life we have here is just a small part
Of our total existence, it's simply the start
When we come to the time we once feared as the end
We'll be reunited with all of our friends
No longer burdened with the pain of this life
An end only to suffering, trouble and strife
Repeat Chorus
