Know my dear child that I am with you
Here in your dark and lonely night
Your life has been shadowed by my passing 
God wanted me on an earlier flight

I ask of you now to forgive me
To mend the tear so deep inside
For I have slipped the surly bonds of the earth 
Swift Like a kite, I start to climb climb climb

I myself deceived
I couldn’t believe
I was to leave without goodbye

So many words unspoken
Promises shattered broken
Questions lie torn and tattered
Family battered
How I suffered

Wanting to set things straight
I pray that it‘s not too late
To take time and talk to you
To tell you how I feel – I miss you

I want you to know that I love you
If I could only turn back the time 
I’d tell you so many stories
I’d try to answer all your whys

Don’t let us be apart 
You are my blood I am your heartbeat
I am the wind that guides you
Comforts you and lifts you up to

Places you’ve never been 
I am the wind beneath your wings 

Listen to your song, it is calling
For you to take to the sky
But there’s one last thing I wish to give you
I give you now, my wings to fly
