Left Behind

Original Song. Music and Lyrics by Colleen Kobussen. Copyright 2013, Colleen Ann Kobussen. After all your pain, The struggles you maintained, Peace, you surely now will find. But tell me, How does life go on? For those of us, left behind. You're where you need to be; It's how it's meant to be-- I'll have to tell myself, from time to time. 'Cause Somewhere, you're smiling down on me, And those of us, left behind. Empty rooms, and empty spaces; Empty silence fills the air. I catch my breath, through ev'ry door, Half-expecting you're still waiting there. I'll have to let you go, Deep down, this I know, And fumble through this crazy life of mine. Promise you'll say a prayer for me, And those of us, left behind. (Instrumental break) Empty rooms, and empty spaces; Empty places in the heart. I know I need to move these feet-- Someone, please remind me how to start... You're where you need to be; It's how it's meant to be; And forever on, your light will shine. And Somehow, life must carry on For those of us left behind. For those of us, Left behind.
