» They Will Be There

I saw a man who died today We were playing in the sand A shadow fell across the bay There was something wrong at hand The way the people gathered round A figure lying prone Told me this man was not about To be left to die alone When nighttime falls and sleep has come Even though you’re not aware The ones who loved you in your life will come They will be there Two years ago we lost someone A mother and a friend She wasn’t well but no one was Prepared for her life’s end We rallied to the hospital And gathered round her bed I was too late to say goodbye And other things unsaid When nighttime falls and sleep has come Even though you’re not aware The ones who loved you in your life will come They will be there When tragedy takes loved ones From beyond our tender grasp So many have their questions And the things they want to ask One day in earth’s new morning A different sound will touch the air We’ll hear the voice of our loved ones And, yes, they will be there Though nighttime falls and sleep has come Even though they’re not aware The ones we loved throughout their life will come They will be there Though nighttime falls and sleep has come Even though they’re not aware The ones we loved throughout their life will come They will be there
