Before Jason passed away, I wrote a song for him. I never had the guts to sing it to him, or to anyone else but my brother and his girlfriend. However, the song has served as such a strength to me in helping me cope with his passing, and I'm beginning to wonder if it would do the same for anyone else who has mourned his passing, or the passing of another loved one recently.
So here are the lyrics. Soon, I'll post a video of me performing it...
Where You're Going
Where you're going is beautiful
And the gift of knowing helps keep me whole
'Cause I know that one day I want to be
Where you're going
So will you please save a plot for me
Next to your place, or across the street
'Cause I know that one day I want to be
Where you're going
Promise me you'll wait
To usher me through heaven's gate
I'll meet you there one sweet day
We'll be together again
But until then, I'll do all I can
To be a good friend; I'll try to be as good a man
As you are 'cause I want to be
Where you're going
Where you're going is a special place
There's no crying, there's no sickness, and there's no pain
Everybody's happy to be
Where you're going
So promise me you'll wait
To usher me through heaven's gate
I'll meet you there one, one sweet day
We'll be together again
But til that time comes, I'm gonna live each day
As if it was my last one, and I promise to keep the faith
And walk as you did, 'cause I want to live
In that special place where now you wait
I would give anything to be
Where you're going
Where you're going
