Just a Thought Away

I know my death came as a painful shock to you

The worst of my pain and fear you never knew

The nights were so long, they seemed to never end

The pain was so bad, I felt I could never mend

The sun no longer brought me the kind of joy that it once did when I was just a young boy

I believed my life was just a horrid mess

But I felt too guilty to ever confess

I had reached the point of being so far in debt

And it seemed I was always causing you to fret

The anger raged within my body so bad

And my mind, so much turmoil it had

The evils of alcohol had a grip on me that day

And the anger took over me in such a way

You believe that I died, gone forever from you

But actually, I was born, given life a new

I'm in God's arms, living in his home

I will never again feel the need to roam

All my pain is gone, never to return again

I have finally found a peace that will never end

I am never hungry, I never need a drink

I'm free of the alcohol, I've found the missing link

Please don't cry for me, I've finished my earthly journey

I'm home in heaven now, you've no more need to worry

The Lord says I've earned my angel wings

He gave me a halo and angel dust and things

I'm with you always now, I know you can feel me

And you'll find me all around if you only believe it to be

I'll wash your tears away with the rain

I'll kiss you gently with the breeze

I'll paint your smile with the flowers

And show you a rainbow to ease your pain

I'll shine the moon over you at night if you please

And the sunrises and sunsets will always be ours

I will be with you always, do not fear

In the thunder, you will find my laughter you can hear

I'll always be just a thought away

Until we meet again in heaven one day
