I was told my grandfather went gone to a place unknown
But he left just to leave me here all alone
To the sky I asked where he'd gone there was no reply
Maybe I had done something that caused him to die
Where ever we'd be you said we'd always have family
Well why don't you look and see?
He is my blood yet he ahd become one with the dust
Now look here and answer me
Where do they all go lowered in that same blackened hole
What becomes of their soul?
Where do they all go lowered in that same blackened hole
What becomes of their soul?
My last line, the end of me or the end of time?
Maybe death is only a transition of mine
Other side, is it better than and just who decides
Where we go, or is this only hope of the mind?
When day goes to night
We all are born and then we close our eyes
Where did Grandpa go?
Whenever I join him that's when I'll know.
