Echoes in the Silence

Ashes in the wind shadow on the wall

Can't hear their voice can't feel them at all

Pictures in my head like a ghostly parade

Fading faces whisper names that never stay

And I scream into the silence but it don't scream back

Echoes of love

Echoes of lack

How do I let go when the weight won't lift

How do I move on when they're all I miss

Lonely room hollow bed still unmade

Their scent lingers but their warmth won't stay

Hands reaching for a past that slips through

Every memory a wound bleeding something new

If love is forever why does it fade

If they're gone why does their shadow stay

And I scream into the silence but it don't scream back

Echoes of love

Echoes of lack

How do I let go when the weight won't lift

How do I move on when they're all I miss

Time's a thief stealing more than it gives

Left me stranded in the life I can't live

I hold on tight to the pain like a thread

'Cause if I let go does it mean they're really dead

Whispered echoes in the quiet night

Calling me back to the morning light

Missing you more than words can say

Waiting for that one perfect day

Walking through this world so cold

Holding on to stories told

Your face haunts every dream

Flowing like a distant stream

God, guide me through the dark

Help me find the lost spark

Until I see their face again

Till then, I carry this pain

I miss you, can't let go

Heart aching, have to know

My purpose here ain’t done

Till I’m with you once more under the sun

Every step feels heavy now

But I won’t break, I won’t bow

Until my work is through

I’ll keep holding onto you

God, lead me back home

To where I belong

One day I shall see their face

Until then, I embrace this grace

I miss you, can't let go

Heart aching, have to know

My purpose here ain’t done

Till I’m with you once more under the sun

In the tears and silent prayers

I find strength in my cares

Dreaming of that reunion day

Holding on, come what may

Till that moment, I will wait

Trusting in His perfect fate

Until I see their face again

In my heart, it’s not the end
