about

For my grandmother, Betty H. Peters (1932-2017)

lyrics

I didn't get to say goodbye when your work was done
Give you deepest gratitude from your daughter's son
I'm standing on your shoulders, 'cause you paved the way
I don't know life without you; it's a heavy day

The world is more beautiful than I'll ever know
And more terrible than I'll ever know
Pulled in both directions, it won't let me go
This is where we live, in the to & fro

The grief will never fully leave; it's a part of me
Joy and pain filter the light, it's how I see
Lifted by life's beauty, crushed by futility
True and false reflections of humanity

The horror of death is real
The hope of life greater still
Our resurrection revealed

The ash will give way to oil
Powers of darkness are foiled
We're taking root in new soil
