She sits and stares through a window pane On a rainy august day Her strength is erased from years gone by And her hair has long been gray Her company is the memories But even those decay Her children were gone the moment that Her mind began to fade But through all the fears she dreams of a home That she's never seen but soon she will know Soon she will run on fields of green And never wake up from her dreams Embrace with joy the mysteries Of beautiful that she's never seen Soon she will run (he, we) Big brown eyes and messy hair A little boy wild confined to a chair The cancer has spread and there's not much time He's struggling through eight and hoping for nine He waves to his friends as they play in the yard Love can be soft but life can be hard (…Soon we will) run and not fade for true life's just begun and the tears and the pain now will finally be done And this world that is broken it's all that we know But Jesus soon we'll see home
