Closer to You

Closer to me I'm tired and I'm weak
And every breath within me is longing just to be
Closer to You
So I face the road ahead
Cause I know there's no comparing
To what's waiting at the end

So let the rain start falling where it will
And I will run through this valley
Just to climb to that hill
And if they ask why I'm smiling
After all I've been through
It's cause I'm just a day closer to You

Closer to me I hear You whisper on the wind
You say although my life is ending
A new one will begin
Closer to You
And I know I'm not alone
Cause I can hear You in the distance
Saying, you are nearly home

So let the rain start falling where it will
And I will run through this valley
Just to climb to that hill
And if they ask why I'm dancing
Though my days may be few
It's cause I'm just a day closer to You

Closer to me You're in the laughter and the tears
Of the ones I leave behind me
Who have prayed me through the years
Closer to You
And I know it won't be long
Till You're running down the pathway
Just to take me in Your arms

So let the rain start falling where it will
And I will run through this valley
Just to climb to that hill
And if they ask why I'm singing
Though my life's almost through
It's cause I'm just a day closer
I'm just a day closer
I'm just a day closer to You 

Your Mother

Your mother is always with you...

 

She's the whisper of the leaves

 

as you walk down the street.

 

She's the smell of bleach in

 

your freshly laundered socks.

 

She's the cool hand on your

 

brow when you're not well.

 

Your mother lives inside

 

your laughter. She's crystallized

 

in every tear drop...

 

She's the place you came from,

 

your first home.. She's the map you

 

follow with every step that you take.

 

She's your first love

 

and your first heart break...

 

and nothing on earth can separate you.

 

Not time, Not space...

 

Not even death....

 

will ever separate you

 

from your mother....

 

You carry her inside of you....
