Afterlife

As long as you're by my side

I will make you dinner in the afterlife

We'll live in our afterworld

With string and jewelry of gold and pearl

Some bonds don't break

I come to nourish you with my hands

To make you sculpture in the sand

Hands that work, hands that tire

We can form the shape, but the shape expires

You know I worked for all these years

I'm trying my hardest that my life's complete

We've been witness to joy and pain

But the world we left is the world we gain

We're so different, you and I

In a way we never saw eye-to-eye

Despite the laws that set me free

In a way you make are still guiding me

Some bonds don't break

We are re-shaped

As long as you're by my side

Will you make me laugh in the afterlife?

As long as our long dark night

You can lead me on to the morning light
