Are you here to show me how
Are you around to let me know
Is it’s is ok for me to show
The feelings I have and can’t let go
I can only feel you are just on the shore
Is it real or just a mystery tour
I like to think its better you see
When the past is a direct part of me
I miss my friends that are gone from here
But somehow they show me they are near
A message in passing or a fleeting glance
They’re here with me now it feels more than chance
It’s funny to be in touch and not just the same
Maybe their here or I’m just insane
I can feel them so it’s hard to explain
They are telling me something all the same
Wish I knew how to understand
But I am simply just a man
Life will continue this I know
My brother told me long ago
In death we leave this world for sure
People and property are yours no more
But I will still be here you see
As long as my friends remember me
