On My Side

That fateful morning I was forever changed
I felt my insides tear apart
As my heart was torn from my chest
A piece of me was gone
Replaced with emptiness of which the likes I've never felt
As one life ended, another one began

When I turn my face towards the sun
And I feel the urge still run
To blame myself or to walk with pride
Because I know you'll be on my side
On my side

The numbing sight of my fathers face
To see a warm embrace meeting cooling skin
Powerless to the movings of the world
The unmistakable image burnt within my mind
A piece of me was gone
Replaced with emptiness of which the likes I've never felt
As one life ended, another one began
Another one began
How couldn't I have seen you needed my helping hand that time
You were carried to your final resting
I hope you've found peace, I'm still searching for mine

When I turn my face towards the sun
And I feel the urge still run
To blame myself or to walk with pride
Because I know you'll be on my side
Things like this will hit you hard
Things like this will leave you scarred
It comes and goes like a moving tide
Because I know you'll be on my side
On my side

Brother, please look at me with pride
As you watch across the great divide
Your passing made me face my fear
A wisdom that made me see things clear
