In Memory Of My Father... Warren "Newie" Wallace I Lift My Hands I praise him for my family in my prayers at night And, I thank him for having you within my life Though tears fall like rain, Dad, with missing you I must lift my hands to the man who needs you, too... He's taken you from the cold the only way he knew best He has layed out a much kinder place for a man to rest And, though, I find myself wishing I was never alone I must lift my hands to the man who's given you a sweeter home... He's given you, Dad, the most peaceful nights So, lay your head in happiness for we'll be alright And, though, my heart is drowning in so many tears I must lift my hands to the man for giving us such happy years... He's taken you, Dad, from the rain and the storms And, he's taken you, Dad, to keep you warm It's in my truest belief that you're in a greater land So, for that, to God, I must lift my hands... You've taught us that a family can't really be apart Because, once a family, always a family, inside real hearts And, from your old life here we're still one somehow But, I must lift my hands to the man who is your new family now... From the day you left we've lived on rocky ground But, it was your time to rest when we layed you down You were tired for years but your light came on time So, I must lift my hands to the man who's given you peace of mind... In a moments weakness I find myself crying for strength Because, love feels empty sometimes when life's at it's end But. I know in reality you are so blessed at last So, I must lift my hands to that lucky man who's holding my Dad... Sauni:)The Only Time I See The Sun Is When I'm Within That Vanilla Breeze.The Only Time I'm One With The Sun Is When He Shelters Me From The Rain. L.S |
