Composed by Steven Spitzer
lyrics
I thought when someone died
the spirit flew over furthest field
Now I see death will leave behind
A scrap of light, a broken smile
The remnants by which I might be healed
The dead lift me up
In brightest sky, the clouds below me race
The dead lift me up
I see you face to face
Held high by these strong hands
feeling the wind, I am born again
The mountain flowers, the desert sands
surround me now, comfort me now
In death or dreaming I find my kin
Our voices shake in song
for memories we have long endured
Though this begins to make us strong
(the combing through of shreds of love)
it is through living that we are cured
the spirit flew over furthest field
Now I see death will leave behind
A scrap of light, a broken smile
The remnants by which I might be healed
The dead lift me up
In brightest sky, the clouds below me race
The dead lift me up
I see you face to face
Held high by these strong hands
feeling the wind, I am born again
The mountain flowers, the desert sands
surround me now, comfort me now
In death or dreaming I find my kin
Our voices shake in song
for memories we have long endured
Though this begins to make us strong
(the combing through of shreds of love)
it is through living that we are cured
