We Will Be Together

from BackTracks (1999) by James Hersch

/

about

I wrote this after hearing of a father’s terrible loss of his wife and daughter near our home. Words are weak but hope is worth the effort.

lyrics

There’ll be lots of room
And lots of sky
And lots of pretty places
There’ll be lots of laughing
Lots of hugs
And lots of happy faces there

And the bells will ring
And the angels sing
And the melody is merry
And the only tears
Will be happy tears
And the night is never scary there

And we will be together
And we will be together
You and I together in God’s love

We won’t look back
And we won’t look ahead
We won’t worry about tomorrow
We will wash our eyes
In the light of joy
Wash away our sorrows there

We’ll see the ones
We never knew
Who loved us all that they could
And the ones I loved
Who went away
Before I got to say goodbye
