Fallen To My Knees
We arrived early to be sure we would be on time
For we have waited over a year now
And the time is almost here
Though there are a lot of others here
For the same reason as us
To see our child, mother, father, son, or daughter
Coming back home with us once more
Hoping and praying they are not too bad than before
About this time, you hear them say which door to look for
That the time has finally come
Now we are all trying so hard to see them
As they all come walking through the door
With each one of them calling out the names
Of whom we are there for
Then there they are
Standing right before you as you hold out open arms
Then, at least for me any way, it happens
That very first look in their eyes
That is when I got to see
What was in my eyes once upon a time
When it was I who was coming home
Still looking right in their eyes
Taking them into my arms
Holding onto them so very tight
With the tears falling from both our eyes
Fallen To My Knees
I just remember telling them
I’m here for you now no matter what my child
Together we’ll make it through
This up and coming hell
For I have been where you were
We’ll make it through the land of hell
My brother, my child
