Twenty-one years, you raised me high Seven more, I watched you fade and die In the storm, you taught me peace, That after darkness comes release. You and grandma, torn apart, But still you stayed, heart to heart. A stranger in this land of words, Yet you stayed, though unheard. You and grandma, torn apart, But still you stayed, heart to heart. I wish we had more time to spare, Not just to drive you everywhere. If I could turn back time, press rewind, We’d fix the clocks, break the bind. Now I hear you in the wind, Grandfather, you’re the voice within. I wish we had more time to spare, Not just to drive you everywhere. Twenty-six years, you called this home, But in your heart, you were alone. Silent battles you never shared, In a world that never cared. You fixed the things that fell apart, But not the aching in your heart. And I forgot the words you spoke, Now every sentence feels like smoke. I wish we had more time to spare, Not just to drive you everywhere. If I could turn back, press rewind, We’d fix the clocks, break the bind. Now I hear you in the wind, Grandfather, you’re the voice within. I wish we had more time to spare, Not just to drive you everywhere. I wish we had more time to spare, Not just to drive you everywhere. If I could turn back, press rewind, We’d fix the clocks, break the bind. Now I hear you in the wind, Grandfather, you’re the voice within. I wish we had more time to spare, Not just to drive you everywhere.

You brought me in without a word, No promises made, none ever heard. Just silent acts that built our days, You turned the dark into a haze. Worked your hands to bone and skin, No need to speak, no need to win. You didn’t rest when the sun went down, Just kept moving through this hollow town. You didn’t rest when the sun went down, Just kept moving through this hollow town. The weight you carried, I now see clear, Through all the silence, year by year. I stand beside you, here to stay, As time keeps pulling you away. . The years were long, but you stayed low, Kept the pace, you let it show. But now it’s you who needs the hand, And I’ll be there when you can’t stand. You brought me in without a word, No promises made, none ever heard. Just silent acts that built our days, You turned the dark into a haze. Worked your hands to bone and skin, No need to speak, no need to win. No talk of dreams you left behind, No room for weakness in your mind. You fixed what broke, but never spoke, I wonder if you ever choked The years were long, but you stayed low, Kept the pace, you let it show. But now it’s you who needs the hand, And I’ll be there when you can’t stand. The weight you carried, I now see clear, Through all the silence, year by year. I stand beside you, here to stay, As time keeps pulling you away.
