I never, seem to figure where the time goes,
Subtle memories but you know I never find those,
If they said it’s meant to be, I'd say they lying though,
That death disease won't ever ever ever steal your kind soul,
Inside you'll never leave, I know you dying so
I'll live your legacy through the rhymes that my mind shows,
McCartney tellin' me to "Let It Be" but now that I've grown,
I think about it,
And your presence lets me find hope, so please,
Find as much peace as you have given me,
I still, feel the calm behind those eyes of misery,
You'll probably never hear this, because of you I'm searching,
In between these lyrics for me to find a better person,
Lesson learned it's ironic that now you're helping,
It's hard to live with the fact that I was always selfish,
Don't know why, but at times I seem to fake it,
I'm sincere when I wish your pain’s alleviated,

No one deserves this especially someone so peaceful,
It's messed up the way the nursing home treats you,

Every time I lend a hand, yeah thats you, and
Every time I give a second chance, yeah thats you, and
Every time I accept them, yeah thats you,
That's your spirit manifested in me

Some ruffled chips and monopoly, late night hockey,
Still got the chicken pox scar from the time you watched me,
Telling me to watch the birds in the tall trees,
Loved the little things, something that I try to copy,
Sense of humour, even when your struggling,
Body aching, hands shaking, still find the love within,
Mac ’n cheese always got my stomach rumbling,
What would I give to just smell that stuff again,
Now you suffering and somehow I can’t show affection,
In my head I know I'll regret it, instead it's so pathetic,
Bowling ball in my lungs, too young for that close connection,
But when your gone I won't accept it,
So close to heaven, hold on for an extra day or two,
I'm not religious but tonight I will pray for you,
I promise I won't take another relationship for granted,
Not like I didn't love you I couldn't understand it,

No one deserves this especially someone so peaceful,
It's messed up the way the nursing home treats you,

Every time I lend a hand, yeah thats you, and
Every time I give a second chance, yeah thats you, and
Every time I accept them, yeah thats you,
That's your spirit manifested in me

You passed away, life goes on,
I didn't have the courage to say what I thought,
I guess I had to be cool, before I could be real,
I guess I had to hurt and heal before I could feel,
I'm sitting at your funeral, trying to hold back,
Grandpa's song plays and I'm dying to go back,
I can't cry, can't cry, not today,
But it's that same feeling that's got me ashamed, and
I gotta learn to live with your patience, and
I gotta learn to live with your grace, and
I gotta love to live, and live to love,
And not let it all go to waste, come on

Every time I lend a hand, yeah thats you, and
Every time I give a second chance, yeah thats you, and
Every time I accept them, yeah thats you,
That's your spirit manifested in me

That's your spirit manifested in me
That's your spirit manifested in me
That's your spirit manifested in me
That's your spirit manifested in me
