In the Eyes of a Child

I really wonder where he is
And what’s he actually doing
But mommy says I should listen 
And never stop believing

She told me I would see him soon
After many days have passed
I’ll grow older and wiser as I age
And that time will pass real fast.

I asked her why’d he have to go
And leave us here behind
She wiped away a little tear
“God asked for him this time”

It’s like a long vacation
But not too far from me
It’s like he’s here with me right now
But he’s really hard to see

I don’t quite understand it,
And don’t really know
What daddy’s doing
And where he did go.

All I know is that I love him
So I hope he’ll keep me in his heart
He’ll think of me often and pray to God
So we’ll never be apart.

Mommy said he’s still my daddy
And told me not to cry
He will always love me because
Families never die

She says he's now flying
Round angels with white wings
Daddy’s watching over me
and while I sleep, he sings

It’s like a long vacation
But not too far from you
I’m sitting besides you dear, right now
But seeing me is hard to do.

I don’t quite understand it
And I don’t really know
Why I’m here and what I’m doing
Or where I’m supposed to go

All I know is that I love you
So, if you keep me in your heart
Think of me often and pray to God,
We’ll never be apart.

Mommy says that death
Is something very strange,
It’s not an end to life
But death is just a change

I don’t quite understand it,
And don’t really know
Where daddy’s at and why he went
But I’ll see him again, I know.
