Rain fell
And children were spinning
As we said goodbye
I remember learning how to cry

In a flash
You were taken from all our lives
No one knew why
The Earth can be so unkind

I could just barely understand
What death really meant
That you weren't coming back

I know your spirits are out there
Like kites riding on the wind
Still connected to me on the ground
If I need you you'll come back down

Family brought together by tragedy
Something in your memory
Made us believe

Twenty years can feel like eternity
But how can it be
That you've been gone so long?

Now that I fully understand
Years turned to bring me that
I still wish you were coming back

I see you in the sky, flying by
A knowing look in your eyes
Maybe gone but not lost
I hold you in my heart
You bring me a light in the dark
