PAEAN FOR MY GRANDFATHER song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

When I was young
just a little boy
you took me by the hand
and showed me summer joy

the green deeper than green
the blue beyond all blue
the forest of my dream
and I looked up to you

when I became a man
I learned much more and then
you taught me how to stand
you were my bestest friend

then autumn came around
light faded in the skies
but even when you're down
you were nothing less than wise

but winter comes to all
before sun comes again
and even mountains fall
all things come to an end

one day could not arise
could not get out of bed
something went out of your eyes
and all you could see was death

but when I visited you laughed
said I have just one more step
go out there and live you life
you have so much more and yet

in my memory
and in my tears
you
are always here......
