Yesterday my father died Quiet, more than I expected After all that trying to stay alive After all the weight he carried Just a hospital bed at the end So this is what falling asleep means I donβt know if he wanted more time Or if freedom came too late Fighting sickness Falling down again and again Still standing up Facing death, the strongest one Knowing from the start itβs a losing fight Still standing up Just a sparring fighter Playing his part No victory waiting Still giving his heart No speeches, no answers No lesson spelled out Just breath after breath Till the light fades out Just a sparring fighter Playing his part Laughing softly, saying So this is it I hope the last thing he saw Was a warm kind of light And the ones who stay behind What do we take from this And the ones who stay behind What do we take from this asleep means I donβ t know if he wanted more time Or if freedom came too late Fighting sickness Falling down again and again Still standing up Facing death, the strongest one Knowing from the start itβ s a losing fight Still standing up Just a sparring fighter Playing his part No victory waiting Still giving his heart No speeches, no answers No lesson spelled out Just breath after breath Till the light fades out Just a sparring fighter Playing his part Laughing softly, saying So this is it I hope the last thing he saw Was a warm kind of light And the ones who stay behind What do we take from this And the ones who stay behind What do we take from this And the ones who stay behind What do we take from this To those waiting in this moment To those standing close to death To those about to say goodbye To someone they hold dear May this moment you are in Be wrapped in gentle warmth May it pass so quietly And leave you held in peace
