Hey there, love   It has been a while since he has passed   But I want you to know   That all this pain will not last      If there's one thing I know for sure   Because it's written on your face   And I'm sure of that is that life is short   And nobody will make it out alive   So just try to survive my love      I have found a way    Into your heart   I know my way in      The hand of God is felt now by small eyes that are looking up   They are praying now, now for a cure and act of God   Or maybe just a simple pleasant nod to let them know he won't go alone   As life escapes from his eyes, his little angels will cry      I've been searching the earth    For words with purpose   Because you deserve it      Ain't it funny how the birds can sing like they're on top of things    Even though the world is crumbling beneath their feet?   It's funny how the birds can see the world like that   It's easy to go down to hell but harder to climb back out   I guess this is what life's all about      And if I write one song about death, let this be it   So they can wash their hands clean of it   And if I write one song for you about it, my dear   It'll go like this      Something's on its way down   Something's on its way down   Something's on its way down      Ain't it funny how the birds can sing like they're on top of things    Even though the world is crumbling beneath their feet?   Keep your head up, keep your head up   I love you
