Name: You were high above me
Duration: P00H05M23S
Description: Growing up my Gramps was my hero. Years later when he got sick and with his health failing I found it a lot easier to say goodbye when I expected. I think I realized he had led a good life and I wanted to see him at peace rather than pain. Yeah this week I guess I got all sensitive and shit!

Growing up my Gramps was my hero. Years later when he got sick and with his health failing I found it a lot easier to say goodbye when I expected. I think I realized he had led a good life and I wanted to see him at peace rather than pain. Yeah this week I guess I got all sensitive and shit!

lyrics

Days before we lost you
I thought Id be a mess when you were gone
The sickness it had taken you
Deep inside I always knew that you’d be moving on
On the day you left us
I was as solemn as a bible verse you made your own
I knew you’d lived a long long time
Like in the movies in the end its time to go
Hold your head up
Hold your head up high you said

I viewed you like the savior of the world
So unstoppable when I was just a child
You carried yourself brilliantly
I wanted to be just like you one day when I grew up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up high you said

I put you on a pedestal
You were always high above me

Now you are at peace from the world
Sleeping silently within your death
I told myself I’d see you once again
Somewhere down the line when I take my final breath

I put you on a pedestal
You were always high above me
