Oh Hannah
Why do you weep
Why do you look so sad
Why don't you eat
Oh Hannah
Why do you weep
Am I not more to you than a thousand sons
Oh Hannah
Why do you weep
Why do you look so sad, why don't you smile
Oh Hannah
Why do you weep
Am I not more to you than a craving heart
Oh Hannah
Why do you weep
Why do you look so sad
Why don't you smile
Oh Hannah
Why do you weep
Am I not more to you than a thousand sons
Oh Hannah
Why do you weep
Why do you look so sad
Why don't you eat
Oh Hannah
Why do you weep
Am I not more to you than a craving heart
But I am blind
I am a son of Eli
No words to confess my sadness in whispers divine
No mercy, no future for me
My bloodline is dry
I'm a son of Eli
I'm a son of Eli
I'm a son of Eli
I'm a son of Eli
I'm a son of Eli
Oh Hannah
Why do you weep
Don't let your sorrows cover your soul with a darkness that deep
Oh Hannah
Your prayer has been heard
Your joy will return in great great great great great great splendor
The speechless will sing
And the hopeless will shine
Oh Hannah
Why don't you smile
Why don't you smile
Why don't you smile
Why don't you smile
Why don't you smile
Born in 1951, gone by 2014
He leaves behind
A brother, a sister, a wife and a child
Friends and memories
He didn't cry, a man of faith
Therefore he lived awaiting to die
He loved Jesus Christ but religion he despised
He lived in bright daylight
Had compassion for those kneeling in bleakness
He never was much of a dreamer
But a lighthouse for so many others
He left me with nothing
No words, no direction to set myself in
But he gave me everything
I've ever needed
As far as the sun...
Taught me to feed a spirit of my own
To carry my voice beyond morning views
And to leave the past behind
To leave the past behind
To leave the past behind
My father
My father
My father
Windows in the sky
Windows in the sky
Windows in the sky
Windows in the sky
Windows in the sky
And forever he lives now
