We are gathered here today
Among our dearest friends
We have come in your presence
To remember Emily Webb
We are gathered here in celebration of the life
A gentle heart
Who leaves behind a husband and a child
And God has a plan
That we can't know just yet
Lord hear our prayers
(Sing a new song)
Take her with care
(We won't be long)
I miss you so much I cannot think to move
In mourning I'm alone
Waking in a nightmare but I know
Life must go on
Can I get your blessing now?
And I can't pretend to know what lies in the beyond
But now I've lost you
It can't be worse than living but I know
Life must go on
Can I get your blessing now?
And I miss you so much I cannot find the words
Artists find a rhyme
But poetry escapes me
Now I'm back
I'm ten years old
I'm the boy you'd never know
Don't
Don't be afraid to cry
Don't be afraid of life
There's nothing more
Don't
Don't be afraid to die
Love will fade with your strife
There's nothing more
Now I am here
(Now you are here)
What's there to fear?
(Nothing to fear)
I want to go back
(You can't go back)
There's nothing for me here
(There's nothing for you here)
(When I'm gone
Life will carry on
Hallelujah)
Take the load
You move the last stone
Your bones have gone cold
And you're ready to go home
(Underground you can hear the sound
At the gate you can hear them say
Apples rot by the will of God
Young ones die with the fall of night
Make your flight to the skies of white
Take a bow to the roaring crowd
Say goodbye to the clouds on high
Breathe a sigh as your bones comply
Sing the song as you move along)
