Haze - Over the River lyrics

The breath of life laid bare The faintest flicker burning Worn beyond repair By the years of love and learning Over the river, you go softly Strong in faith, with vision clear Full of purpose, free from fear This I tell you A life that numbered days A gift so precious but so fleeting I never saw your face A heart too frail to keep on beating Over the river way beyond me For all the things you'll never see All you'll never grow to be This I tell you Every day I know you walk beside me Now and then I hear your voice inside me I know there will always be a part of you alive in me And I will keep it there forever And now it comes to me As I am growing older To set my spirit free Lift this burden from my shoulder Over the river no returning For all the things I've left undone Battles lost and battles won This I tell you Every day I will walk beside you If you need me I'll be there to guide you I hope there will always be a place inside your heart for me And I will be with you forever
