I am learning how to live.

In a new way, since that day

You were taken away.

I am learning how to live.

With the things left unsaid

Knowing I got to say them

With every tear that I shed.

I am learning how to live.

By embracing the pain

Knowing that you live on

Through the memories that remain.

I am learning how to live.

Knowing I will never see your

Face and I have peace knowing

You’re in a better place.

I am learning how to live.

Knowing you’re in God’s care

It gives me the strength to move on

And makes the pain much easier

To bear.
