Loss of a child

Lyrics

Looking Down From Above

When you were young you looked up to me from below
I?d hear the pitter patter of your feet as you go

As a teen you were able to look me in the eye
Making me worry about all the things you had to try

You were very lucky in those days
Getting away with more than your share

Living on the edge, close scrapes and such
Never thought you?d be taken from our touch

Now you?re looking down, looking down from above
Living a different life in your new world above
Maybe someday we?ll look eye to eye
If there really is life on the other side

When you were young everything came to you without quest
You didn?t have to try very hard to do your best
Although you made many mistakes and some regretful
You seem to sail through your days with your glass half full

You were lucky in your youth
As we tried our best to keep you safe

All the parties, kegs, wrecked cars and such
Never thought you?d be taken from our touch
