We watched you as you drifted
in and out, in and out
we wondered what you were seeing
we did hope, you’d come around

We knew you were dying
not one word, could be found
your will never stopped trying
to find a way, to rebound

Was your struggle in vain
since it’s not anything you can now explain?

I guess we didn’t fully know you
But how could we since life’s a moment
Can we sit and talk in heaven’s purple blue
One more time with you?

In back yards we can barely
see the stars of crystals light
When something changes in
what was ours, leaves tonight

Silence fills your breathing
your soul passes, right by us
do you see those lights beaming
in front of you, is it Jesus?

I guess we didn’t fully know you
But how could we since it was a moment
That you were with us
Will there be time to know you
In heaven’s purple and blue?

Just one more time, could we see your smile
Just one more time, flashing with life
you’re fully known where you are
your battle is done no more strife

Was your life struggle in vain
since it’s not anything you can now explain?

I guess we didn’t fully know you
But how could we since life’s a moment
Will we sit and talk in heaven’s purple blue
just one more time with you?
Will we?
There was a boy who died of the hanging game and my songwriting partner and I were honored to be allowed into his hospital room as he was dying.  We sang worship songs to Jesus and I watched the 17 year old boy dying and watched all the faces of those who love him.  It was a time that I will never forget.  We always have hope that we will see him again.
