Forever free

When you left me
I just held your hands close to my heart,
The smile on your face wiped my tears away,
Knowing you’re forever free.

And I heard your voice,
Whispering deep in my heart, love,
Telling me you’re always near me,
Saying we’re never apart.

“Close your eyes and look deep in your heart –
I’ll be there, just a heartbeat away,
Know that death’s not separate from life –
There’s darkness
And sadness,
Just look deep within.”

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I see you,
The light in your eyes lifts the darkness,
Letting me see life anew.

When I miss you
I just close my eyes and I’m with you,
Your laughing voice blows all my blues away,
Shaking me out of my self.

Take me by the hand, lead me to your land
Where love is all that can heal all man’s grief,
For the world needs love, and only love,
There’s darkness,
And sadness,
I look deep within  –

When I need you.
