EVEN IN DEATH

How does good apply to the worst of losses
The death of a loved one?
It's easy to think that there's nothing good in death
But then I remember the people I have lost throughout my life
The memories of them
The experiences, the fun
Their unique personalities, and everything they gave me
Not only in their life, but in their death
What their life taught me, and what their death taught me
The mark they had left on me
And I realized there is good
Even in death

There is good
Even in death
There is good, there is good
Even in death
There is good

First of all, I was lucky enough to have had that person in my life
Even if it was only for a short time
Too short a time, at least I got that
Those precious moments, those unforgettable memories
At least I got those and got to experience those times
To know the beauty of their personality
Their attitude, their outlook on the world
They were all unique
And I am thankful for the opportunity I had to interact with them
Now comes death
Death is horrible, death is wretched, and death is cruel
And death isn't fair
And I don't know why the best people seem to be taken from us first
Death is also inescapable, there is no way out, no one gets out alive
Death is part of life
Like the contrast between the darkness and the light
Without death
There is no life

There is good
Even in death
There is good, there is good
Even in death
There is good

And the people that I have lost
They taught me that
They taught me how precious life is
How blessed we are to have every day
To learn, to grow, to laugh, to live
To live
To live every day with purpose and passion
To wake up in the morning and be thankful
Thankful for that morning
Thankful for that opportunity to go into the world and live
Live for them
For those that don't have the opportunity
For those who were stolen away by death's cruel hand
For them
I will live
I will revere their memory and I will live
I will live

There is good
Even in death
There is good, there is good
Even in death
There is good, there is good
Even in death
There is good

There is good
Even in death
There is good, there is good
Even in death
There is good

So let us cry no more
Let us mourn no more
Let us remember, but let us not dwell
Instead, let us laugh and love and let us embrace
And venerate everything that life is and every opportunity it gives us
Let us live for those who live no more
Let us live to honor them
