The storm has passed and we're feeling all right    And the rain has stopped, the roof is still on tight    When Dorothy passed, I slept by my big sister's side    And asked if the golden ship would sail Dorothy into the light    Will it greet her up in heaven with everyone she ever knew?    And say, "Welcome Dorothy, we've been waiting for you"    If there is a heaven, little sister, I never knew    Because what if heaven's right here in front of you?       I don't remember drifting to sleep that night    But I had a thousand dreams before daylight    One where a good bird was teaching me to sing    And his lesson prompted me to cry to him    "Pardon me, good bird, how could something so pretty be so sad?"   The bird said, "Kid, it's not so bad if the sad song is all you have"      When I awoke my sister was already gone    But the school bus was beeping, waiting for me to get on    And as I did, it's as if the kids already knew    There was a seat in front, even the cruel kids seemed blue       So I opened my mouth and then I started to sing    Just as the good bird told me   And I sang, "Grandma Dorothy is finally free    Glory, glory"
