Departed soul

You're the one
Left standing on your own
Watching the world go by
And you're the one
Left standing with your pain
Up on a movie screen
And you're the one
Who's got to be so strong
'Cause people need you now
You're the one
Left standing on your own
You want to grieve alone

But I'm the one who's got to face the world
I've gotta paint my brave face on
People need to know that life goes on
Even after death has come
And you're the one left standing on your own

At first we grieve
For this departed soul
Never to return
And then we grieve
For those that they had known
And those they call their own
And last we grieve
For our humanity
For we know our destiny
And you're the one
Left here to decide
What is on the other side

Turn the light on
