For you I will give an exemption
To find another purpose in life
So the things you treasured here
May grow and spring reminiscently

On the wake of the morning sun
I will embrace the warmth within
Looking up and clutching the skies
As I imagined you would, every single day

Since living alone I finally realized
The night, it's long and unforgiving
And having someone to look forward to--
The night eventually lost its facade of a beauty

Living purposely brought me to realize
I had it wrong and you were right
The sun I saw when I was in my lowest
Was brighter on the other side

So whenever I feel fleeting away
Somewhere, some place, some how
Your voice remains the only hope
To steadily anchor me to my feet

As though life was not once cruel to me
Hear me sing a song of love to you
Because I know none of what I've done--
In your eyes, none of them was in vain

On the day of my last breath, I will smile
And in the other side I'll finally see you
Smiling, as I imagined you would
"The sun really is brighter on this side"
