Mama, let me mend your heart,
Brother, let me hold your hand,
You see, we’re not so far apart.
I’m here with all that you hold dear,
The fall leaf dancing cross the wind,
The one bright star on dawning sky,
The blaze of sunset round the bend.
And though we won’t be face to face,
I promise evermore to wait.
I’ll breathe in God’s eternal love,
And watch for you at Heaven’s gate.
