Jason Hawk Harris – Grandfather lyrics

Grandfather, my mind is a blur
It's like I've been here a while, or I've just now arrived
The water here's nice and the wind is so fine
Have I been here a while, or did I just arrive?

Grandfather, you have not said a word
That is so unlike you
But it's clear from your smile you know something so good
Something I don't know but something I should
Grandfather, why haven't you said a word?

Grandfather, your hair has grown back
And you've got a beard
Your wrinkles are gone and your eyes are like iron
I'm watching you smile as I figure this out
This beautiful place we always talked about

Grandfather, I think my mother's here too
Is her suffering through?
I am shaking just thinking of seeing her new
Freed from that dark room that's held her since youth
Grandfather, tell me my mother's here too

Listen close, can you hear that grandson?
Death is undone
Here the food keeps you full and it never goes bad
People don't talk about what they don't have
Or mow people down with tour busses in France
Or shoot people up when they're just trying to dance

Dear grandson, grab your heart and prepare
Your mother's just over there
She is singing this song as she braids her black hair
Free from death and destruction, decay and despair
She's peaceful and lovely and breathing new air
She's peaceful and lovely and breathing new air
