Not much time passed before we were chanting waiting room prayers We begged the heavens to have mercy on your soul No one had the courage to sing songs of joy No one had the courage to sing songs of praise If we had your heart, we'd sing of streets of gold and golden bells I felt sorry that I felt sorry for myself You didn't die all alone Cloudy shapes of loved ones surround the room You left the world the way you lived Surrounded by family, loved and assured You didn't die all alone Cloudy eyes of loved ones surround the room You left the world the way you lived Surrounded by family, loved and at peace
