And as I was carrying his casket  
He rose up and spoke to me
In words I could not understand  
My heart was drenched in tears  
I had never took the time to grieve  
I woke up drenched in the sweat of my guilt
And I saw his eyes open  
As we put him back in the ground
 
I called my pastor and he went into worship
 
Because I don’t know how to say grandfather I miss you three years from today
 
You keep showing up in my dreams and I can’t save you  
I hear the sirens  
And now I pray  
Because I’m too scared to lay back down  
 Cancer was the cause of death
I don’t want to be swept up in its path

Grandad, I miss you three years from today
Happy 81st Birthday in Heaven
