There Is a Place for Me

Dad, you were a father of seven,
The first to go to heaven
As the youngest son of six,
Of your sisters two was number one
And number one was two,
And all but three has gone to be with you,

On the day you died, I worried I –
Wouldn't make there in time,
And from your bed you repeated 'wow'
At least a hundred times,
And to this day I wonder
Just what it was you see,
Is there a place indescribable for me?

Mom, you
You were the oldest of four
You were second to your younger sis
Into the ever more,
And I remember that cold December
When you got the news
You said God is Fair
Sometimes life not
There is not much they can do
The vision that you shared with me
That day before you died
It makes me long for what's on the other side

There is a place for me
A place where those who've gone before within my family tree
I know that it is waiting there for me
And I know that I will be there someday
I know, I know there is a place

Doug, you
You were my older brother
The second son from mother
That the doctors knew too late,
I was only 6 years old
The day you passed away
They say our fathers heart would change that day

If there is an age of understanding
Would it apply to you?
Our family never stopped praying
Just hoping it would be true
I spent a lifetime wondering
Just what you would be like
I even wonder just where you are tonight

There is a place for me
A place where those who've gone before within my family tree
Oh I know that it is waiting there for me
And I know that I will be there someday
I know, I know there is a place

On a tree that's blessed with many limbs,
There is a brand with Georgia's smile
There's one there for Uncle Tom
Who's gone fishing for a while
And some I just don't understand,
Their branch was broke from another hand
And oh poor Matie, would end her days in tears
On a family tree that grows throughout the years

Oooh, There is a place for me
A place where those who've gone before within my family tree
Oh I know that it is waiting there for me
And I know, I know I will be there someday
I know, I know there is a place

I get to see Mom, and Dad, My brother Doug, Grandma and Grandpa,
Aunt Donna Jean
And Jesus

I know I will be there someday
I know there is a place
