Father 가사

Father! Through life I've given back to You many of those I loved One by one, sometimes the elders, sometimes the young, they returned home Leaving behind a silence I still cannot bear Flowers You moved from one garden to another, leaving only emptiness and Loneliness in their place Tonight I beg for them, all who crossed the veil of incarnation, that You bless And guard them, so they may find peace and serenity in the spiritual realm Many of them, Lord, with hearts so pure Fell through sickness, incurable pain Their strength consumed until the end of breath Yet they left us courage, faith that never broke Others, Lord, betrayed by despair Crushed by the trials they could not endure They chose the fall, by drugs or their own hand, now bearing debts that drag them deeper down Gone from flesh, yet never gone from me Their voices echo, their shadows bleed Through death's cold veil, love still remains I call their names, they feel my flame Others, Father, in youth's burning fire Left behind the bonds of heavy chains Ascending free like birds into the light To rest above, to rise again And some, Lord, laid their burden down Task fulfilled, their journey crowned Walking paths of light and truth Their work eternal, their victory proof They meant so much, they still mean more To some I whispered I love you To others, silence closed the door Yet love survives the grave, death cannot erase Gone from flesh, yet never gone from me Their voices echo, their shadows bleed Through death's cold veil, love still remains I call their names, they feel my flame Gone from flesh, yet never gone from me Their voices echo, their shadows bleed Through death's cold veil, love still remains I call their names, they feel my flame Final May they know, wherever they are They're not forgotten, they're not alone They live in my heart, in my soul, forever So be it
