Pain Of Salvation: "Dedication" Lyrics

I watched you die

Though you had always been there

Since I first came into this world

Outside people smile

I ask - why this deep blue sky?

When you have left this world today

Does it not know when to weep?



All my life I've looked up to you

A humble old man who always knew

No one can ever be closer to God than you

So who could fill this void



I still can't believe that you are not around

That your warm voice won't make another sound

Sure I understand, but I never will accept

That you should be gone



I watched you die

And I have feared this moment

Since I was just a child

So why that sunny sky?

When my beloved grandfather

Lies dead here cold and still?
