I’ll see you in the future

When the sun has set

And night is passing over the horizon

When the sun’s warmth rises into the night.

We’ll embrace, chat, and speak of lives past

You, me, dad, and all the other’s we’ve loved

We’ll feel young, our bodies new

With pain a distant memory

We’ll stand together and give thanks

For that chance again.

I’ll see you in the future

When darkness covers the horizon

And the eternal night is ours

When daylight is just a memory

Fading into the past.

We’ll ascend into the starlit sky

Never again to part

And watch the earth below

Seeing life pass eternally.
