must we all go? v2

he will envoke a prayer and wrap it in a tear
as a wife sleeps as best she can
he will trust in us
i will...

he is aging before my eyes
growing tired as he speaks
he will know us
i will...

a father lies as the son sits by his side
the thread of conversation jumping back upon itself
he will remember
i will...

the drugs so strong, they dull all
a daughter will help him drink
he will ask more of all of us
i will...

i strain my mind shut my eyes tight against world
focus all that is in me
i will...

i will
pray,
cry,
laugh,
remember,
dream,
and watch you pass.
