Lyrics We Live On - Mike'o

A father to the fatherless where hopes and dreams collide
Kaleidoscope visions at best for you and I
Merging memories and voices paint a picture of time
A golden frame of heartbreak yet the allure so sublime
See time didn't stop pause or mourn
Worry failed to add a moment hope here was torn
A warrior dropped his sword and a man now is born
Heavy is the head that wears the crown like a thorn
If I could call back time I'd make it turn around
But death came knocking with the bells you can't hear the sound
See him laying there silent may grace abound
I was praying for a chance it was never found

If I could call back time I'd make him turn around
But death came knocking with the bells you can't hear the sound
See him laying there silent may grace abound
The start never sees the finish it was never round

Time rolls on by one love for you and I it's all just a memory
Now you rest in peace where you rest in peace I hope you remember me
I'll stand tall I'll stand strong in honour of your name
Shoulders broad chest held high I won't give in to pain
Because we know we know we are we are the ones who live on today

We lost time and no one called a search party
Now your gone and so has a part of we
Its you and I cos my loss is yours too
My first son he'll never get to meet you
Like who's grandad who's pops who's the old man
Reaching for old memories in the sinking sand
Standing with you through the pain made me a better man
I prayed and hoped but I guess He had a better plan
I wish it was different
Life hit hard so I guess your the victim
But Christ is Lord so I still gotta trust him
And now you rest so you ain't got a problem

Pops man I wish it was different
Life hit hard so I guess your the victim
But Christ is Lord so I still gotta trust him
And now you rest so you ain't got a problem

Dust to to dust and ash to ashes
Heaps of pain but joy to match it
Broken canvas paint that splattered
Heaven bound that's all that mattered
A phoenix in the ash done already rose
This time was the wrap
And it doesn't make sense tryna cry my father back
And the sisters in pieces hope ain't on the map
But we're pushing and we're jugging through
Joy comes in the morning pray it comes real soon
Christ the only name that we're sticking to
Christ the only name that we're sticking to

But we're pushing and we're jugging through
Joy comes in the morning pray it comes real soon
Christ the only name that we're sticking to
Christ the only name that we're sticking to

Time rolls on by one love for you and I it's all just a memory
Now you rest in peace where you rest in peace I hope you remember me
I'll stand tall I'll stand strong in honour of your name
Shoulders broad chest held high I won't give in to pain
Because we know, we know we are, we are the ones who live on today
