Show them while they're here, cause' you don't get a second bite of the cherry...

Your journey has ended, your worries are past                                        What a dark dismal day when you slipped from our grasp
We'll never forget you, come rain hail or snow
But we don't have to say that, cause' you already know

We took you for granted, as most children do
But we never believed this would happen to you
If you could only look down, and see us once more
You would see pain and hurt, for a mother we adore

You were always there for us, faithful and true
When things weren't so good, each of us turned to you
And mother when you left us, our tears fell like rain
How do we go on with our hearts full of pain

But we know you'd be angry, us feeling this way
And if you could speak to us now, we know what you'd say
You'd say stick together, all standing as one
Cause' a family divided, is a family undone

So standing as one, we share this deep pain
And hope that in heaven you are happy again
Then on some distant day, when he calls us once more
We will all stand united, on Gods distant shore
