Hand in the Sky Lyrics


The night the starlit sky made out your name

And I wrote it down in my memory

And I took your hand in mine as I watched your eyes closing

For the first time

The sky was made up of your image my child

You've grown and I cannot believe how

The years have gone so fast

Your friends are at the door, you take care now

Be sure to come back soon for dinner

Cause I made your favorite I don't want it to get cold

And I fear, I fear the world outside the windows

For it bares a silence worthy of these clouded minds

It's been two hours since I last seen your face

Shake the worries out my head

Can I shake this feeling?

I hope to God I'm wrong, I hope to God I'm wrong

My thoughts are dragging me up the walls, my child

My head starts shaking as I cool my forehead

As I start to feel the worst, I feel the worst

It's been so long since I last heard you

And my intuition makes this silence deafening

And I swear, I swear I heard you call out for me

I must shake this feeling, this will be the end of me

And then I heard it

The panic at the window

I went outside to see what's going on

Oh God it can't be my child

It cannot be my child, I know it's not my child

And there you were so silent but beautiful

Your face flat on the ground as I yelled

Oh God, his blood is everywhere

Please don't take my child away

Oh God my young is dying

And there's nothing I can do

And there's nothing I can do but kneel and cry
