In the evening of his life He sought closure for his wife So he prayed, oh, lord he prayed For salvation of his soul His wife, she wept Oh my, she wept And their children, they wept too As his life sputtered on But by the sun’s Glory dawn The dear father Was far and gone Life departed And carried on Their tears they dried And went away As did the sorrow Day by day And then the wife She took her turn And the mourning Commenced again So the children Had some children And the cycle repeated on. On and on the story goes Where it ends No one knows. But we can cry, yes we can cry And we can laugh, And we can try. We live on And on and on And on and on And on and on So when you cry Remember this And try To find some bliss For life is short And sometimes cruel But also joyful And ever new. So go on And on and on And on and on Until you stop And when you stop Don’t be scared You’ll meet your Mother And father there. Or so we hope, we hope, we hope, We hope, we hope, We hope, we hope (2015)

Life and Death to the Tune of Yellow Submarine

We live on And on and on And on and on And on and on So when you cry Remember this And try To find some bliss For life is short And sometimes cruel But also joyful And ever new. So go on And on and on And on and on Until you stop And when you stop Don’t be scared You’ll meet your Mother And father there.
