Dreams of the Departed

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
