one day i shall wake and see
a sacred face by me
and i wish good morning to our lord
your name he never granted me
but a friendship warm and free
and life everlasting's my reward
i'll see you run through heaven's valleys
and swim in holy streams in death
i'll be beside you god grant your every dream
my eyes are dim but i still see
and the end is near for me
loving you has filled each hour on earth
your dear familiar face is lined with memories and time
thank god in heaven there's rebirth
i'll see you run through heaven's valleys
and swim in holy streams in death
i'll never leave you god front your every dream
and one day there'll be roses
as red as blood that flows
and i'd say father father here comes michael
of whom i told you long ago
