I know you would have changed the day
If it was within your control
You wound have stopped my trip to heaven 
Long before I had to go
As you look back you wonder if you could have saved me on that day
You wonder if you'd done things different 
Perhaps I'd never go away
Yet here I am still at your side 
As you feel I am not around 
You try to ask why I have died
But I'm alive,  I'm safe and sound 
I'm still here at your side in life
As you feel that you can't go on 
I'm right here guiding all you do
Through signs I show you I'm not gone
What if I told you that my passing
Was meant to make you loved and strong 
What if I said your soul knew that I'd pass 
To Heaven all along
What if I told you that we wrote this life
Together you and I 
What if I tell you that you knew that my soul
Would never truly die
How would you feel if you knew that
I knew you long before this path
Or if I said God's hand is full of love 
And isn't full of wrath 
Would you feel differently if I could show 
You that my soul is here
Would you still cry If I could teach you 
That we never disappear 
I'm here and loving you each day you live
Each day you carry on
And know that I am always at your side
For I was never gone
