Waiting Room Prayer

Not much time passed before we were chanting waiting room prayers
We begged the heavens to have mercy on your soul
No one had the courage to sing songs of joy
No one had the courage to sing songs of praise
If we had your heart, we'd sing of streets of gold and golden bells

I felt sorry that I felt sorry for myself

You didn't die all alone
Cloudy shapes of loved ones surround the room
You left the world the way you lived
Surrounded by family, loved and assured

You didn't die all alone
Cloudy eyes of loved ones surround the room
You left the world the way you lived
Surrounded by family, loved and at peace
