Brighter Side of Grey

(A song by Five Finger Death Punch, written in 2020, and used at my daughter's funeral in 2021. This is sort of the final stage of my spiritual journey in life.) I'm writing this in case I'm gone tomorrow I'm writing this in case I've moved along There's something that I hope you'll remember That life is not a game, it's a song

So take the best parts of me Locked away without the keys And know that I'm forever by your side

When the lights go down Know that I am never far away When the sun burns out I'll be waiting on the brighter side of grey

If you're reading this, I know you're feeling sorrow If you're hearing this, I know you're probably scared Just know that all the things you want are borrowed And all you get to keep is all you've shared

So wipe away the tears for me Know that we've made history Remember no one ever really dies

When the lights go down Know that I am never far away When the sun burns out I'll be waiting on the brighter side of grey
