Lost in the light, you're reaching higher than ever
Hosting the fight, you're a champion of years to come
Despite the parasite that plagues your mind, we all see you vividly
Remembering the liveliness that we held so tight until the day God took you back
I wish I could fill you in on who you used to be
I know you’re the same, I know that nothing’s changed
Age comes with a burden and the memories all burn
We share blurred faces defined from a distance
Tell me it’s a dream; wake me up when it's over
Tell me it's a dream; I'm not ready to let go yet
Locking my fingers in your palms I told you that I love you
I know you heard it
Seeing the shape I saw you in nearly startled me
I know you’re in good hands
Can you hear me?
Can you hear us?
We’ll be okay
Are you happy?
Are you listening?
I miss you
Tell me it’s a dream; wake me up when it's over
Tell me it's a dream; I'm not ready to let go yet
