Hey, brother I miss you so You knocked on heaven's door And we won't see you anymore It must be crazy What we're living for 'Cause God's stopped keeping you On the ladder of your life I call your name with tears in my eyes I don't want to cry no more Past gave me happiness and pain Life is fleeting like a flower From a distance, after sorrow I pray the Lord to keep your soul I don't want to cry no more We're still missing you Life's like walking On a high wire You slipped away I've seen you dying in a vein High as a mountains seem all the problems that I have But when I hear your voice Far away out of the dark You just go on and on in the back of my mind I don't wanna Skin and bone won't touch the sky I hop you'll find passage out of the dark To the other side of the sea And I know that I'll see you again I don't wanna
