God's Work

There's a hole in my chest since you left
This new way of living is hard to accept
They say we all have a destiny
How you could turn to dust and disappear
A tragic magic trick that's everyone's fear

I picture you with wings and a halo on your head
Doing God's work from those cloudy beds
And when the sun shines down we'll know it's you
Looking after us just like you always do

The kids keep asking me when you'll be home
They don't want you to sleep alone
And the dog is waiting at the door
For you to walk in anytime after four
And I'm sitting in this house that we share
I got a sickness in my stomach and an agonizing stare

I picture you with wings and a halo on your head
Doing God's work from those cloudy beds
And when the sun shines down we'll know it's you
Looking after us just like you always do

It's not the day you left, it's the ones that follow
Our hearts once filled they're now too hollow
And I don't want to admit, I can't comprehend
That you're gone, that you're gone

I'll stand at the podium and eulogize
But there is one thing that I recognize
Two sides to a coin are intertwined
As is death and the life we leave behind

I picture you with wings and a halo on your head
Doing God's work from those cloudy beds
Now we'll all have to learn to pull through
But at this moment, we just miss you
