Heartsick on Mother's Day

Light Up the Sky


~The Afters





Heartsick on Mother's Day




Something on my heart does prey

Even in my joyful day

Celebrating happily

Watching my son in his play...


Someone leans over: "Is your son...

your only one?"

I hear me say,

"No! That's his brother down th' way,

And...my daughter was killed

four years ago,"

it spilled....


Spirit plummeting to the ground,

E'en with all these people 'round...


Heartsick on Mother's Day

Enjoying my son in his play,

Laughing with my other son,

Thankful to be with my children,

All while grieving my little one...


Heartsick on Mother's Day;

Guess it'll always be this way...


Till God and she come back one Day...

And God wipes all our tears away,

I'll be...

Heartsick on Mother's Day.







Light Up the Sky


~The Afters



When I’m feeling all alone and so far to go

The signs are nowhere on this road, guiding me home

When the night is closing in

It’s falling on my skin

Oh God will You come close


Light, light, light up the sky

Light up the sky to show me You are with me

I, I, I can’t deny

No I can’t deny that You are right here with me


You’ve opened my eyes

So I can see You all around me

Light, light, light up the sky

Light up the sky to show me

That You are with me


When stars are hiding in the clouds

I don’t feel them shining

When I can’t see beyond my doubt

The silver lining

When I’ve almost reached the end

Like a flood You’re rushing in

Love is rushing in


Light, light, light up the sky

Light up the sky to show me You are with me

I, I, I can’t deny

No I can’t deny that You are right here with me

You’ve opened my eyes so I can see You all around me

Light, light, light up the sky

Light up the sky to show me...

That You are with me



So I run straight into Your arms

You’re the bright and morning Sun

To show Your love, there’s nothing You won’t do


Light, light, light up the sky

You light up the sky to show me You are with me

I, I, I can’t deny

No I can’t deny that You are right here with me

You’ve opened my eyes so I can see You all around me

Light, light, light up the sky

Light up the sky to show me...

That You are with me


Oh oh oh oh oh oh

That You are with me

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

That You are with me

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
