The clouds hang low,
signaling rain.
But the rain holds off,
just like yesterday.

I miss you still,
and I wait for word.
But nothing has changed,
not that I've heard.

You're still on the edge,
of life and death.
Making what's best,
of the time you have left.

I don't want you gone,
but it's for the best in the end.
Because when it's over,
you'll never have pain again.

God will take it away,
along with all of you.
I'll have to go in life,
living without you.

But I'll know forever,
that you'll be watching over me.
And I can remember,
all our memories.

The clouds getting darker,
signaling rain.
Doesn't look very pleasent,
looks like lots of pain.

God is watching over you,
he knows how you've fought.
He knows all your troubles,
he knows all you've taught.

He knows the pain,
the suffering you've felt.
That's why he's taking you,
and the pain you have left.

So acceptance is hard,
losing the one you love.
But I know you'll watch,
in the floors of heaven above.

You're taking it as it comes,
everything that's thrown.
Remember we're here,
you're never on your own.

We'll be there till the end,
when the last breath is drawn.
The darkness comes in,
when your battle is finally won.

The final battle,
the final bullet shot.
The end is nearing,
after all you've fought.

You can go in peace,
knowing you did your best.
And the final battle ends,
with the soldiers at rest...
