You Should Have Seen Us

You never liked dark limousines
Sunday mornings or crowded scenes
I fell in line between the roses beyond silent gates
It's like you to be late
The chill of winter digs deep within
You would have spared us the violines
A trail of people from wayward places gather close
Steal the air, because you were there

You should have seen us
There was laughter in every tear
You should have seen us
Let the stories be told
You would have loved to be this loved

One family member started to sing
Soon all others joined in
A song you sang when you were down about holding up the ground
Giving in to the sound of life!
