Dorothy's Song lyrics

The storm has passed and we're feeling all right And the rain has stopped, the roof is still on tight When Dorothy passed, I slept by my big sister's side And asked if the golden ship would sail Dorothy into the light Will it greet her up in heaven with everyone she ever knew? And say, "Welcome Dorothy, we've been waiting for you" If there is a heaven, little sister, I never knew Because what if heaven's right here in front of you? I don't remember drifting to sleep that night But I had a thousand dreams before daylight One where a good bird was teaching me to sing And his lesson prompted me to cry to him "Pardon me, good bird, how could something so pretty be so sad?" The bird said, "Kid, it's not so bad if the sad song is all you have" When I awoke my sister was already gone But the school bus was beeping, waiting for me to get on And as I did, it's as if the kids already knew There was a seat in front, even the cruel kids seemed blue So I opened my mouth and then I started to sing Just as the good bird told me And I sang, "Grandma Dorothy is finally free Glory, glory"
