He was a friend of mine
And though it was his time
I hate to see him go
And yet he'll never me hear say
The words I need to say
I have to let them go
Where are the dreams of the departed
Where does their inspiration go
Does it all end or just get started
I can only wonder
And only they can know
There's no mistake what's done is done
I'll find the strength to carry on
And if I take your hope and make it my own
Then you're not really gone
You live on
Feels like I would've found my way
If you were here today
But that's not really true
I guess hard times just pass by
Walking side by side
Now I'm walking without you
Where are the dreams of the departed
Where does their aspiration lie
Underground or just undaunted
If hope is like a vision
Can a true one really die?
There's no mistake what's done is done
I'll find the strength to carry on
And if I take your hope and make it my own
Then you're not really gone
You live on
I've heard it said all good things come to an end
I suspect those that said it never lost their best friend
This is a part of life I know I've got to face
But no one can take your place
No one can take your place
There's no mistake what's done is done
I'll find the strength to carry on
And if I take your hope and make it my own
Then you're not really gone, you live on
