lyrics

You showed me
A better way the world could be
The work must carry one
Now it’s up to me

Your vanishing act has taken its toll oh no
You’re never coming back
And I don’t know where to go
With every sound and every sight
I’m imagining you are near
I close my eyes at night
Just hoping you’ll appear

Cause you showed me
A better way the world could be
And even though you’re gone
This work must carry on
Now it’s up to me
And Lord knows you
Put all your heart in love and truth
And from the other side
I hear your battle cry
Echoing through

I wanna peak behind the scenes
Wanna know if heaven is real
To see you once again
And tell you how I feel

Cause you showed me
A better way the world could be
And even though you’re gone
This work must carry on
Now it’s up to me
And Lord knows you
Put all your heart in love and truth
And from the other side
I hear your battle cry
Echoing through

Oh tell me have you heard a thousand voices
Praising you

And you showed me
A better way the world could be
And even though you’re gone
The work must carry on

Cause you showed me
A better way the world could be
And even though you’re gone
This work must carry on
Now it’s up to me
And Lord knows you
Put all your heart in love and truth
And from the other side
I hear your battle cry
Echoing through

And you showed me
A better way the world could be
The work must carry on
Now it’s up to me
