Benjamin


Another song from Sanctus Real that tonight....means something.

A friend, from the study group on Tuesday nights passed away yesterday. She was an older woman, but her death came swiftly and without warning. Her earth suit is now but dust.....she knew that her body was not who she was. It was where she lived while she was here on earth. And now she lives elsewhere. And we just talked about this on Tuesday.

This song is obviously about a friend who has passed on but whose son is left with a part of him in him.....and also lives with the life of the Father....in him. Just knowing that we are connected because we are the Body.....forever, eternally and always.

Rain falls outside.
I think the sky must know what's happening tonight.
Children born while fathers die.
It's that circle of life that we all live in time,
and we've been friends for a long, long time.
So if you can't talk, just cry. . . .
And know that we will talk on the other side.
It's bitter cold outside
but the Son still shines cuz' we can feel it....
Benjamin you mark the life,
that's been left behind,
we see Him in your eyes
and we will be friends for a long, long time,
so until you can talk, just cry. . . .
And know that we will talk for the rest of our lives
and He gives and He takes
and it makes us strong when He gives,
He takes and it makes us strong
when He gives,and He takes
and it makes us strong when He gives,
He takes
and He makes and it makes us strong
cuz we will be friends for a long, long time
so until you can talk, just cry
and know that we will talk for the rest of our lives....
cuz we will be friends for a long, long time
So until you can talk just cry
And know that we will talk for the rest of our lives
Just know that we'll be friends for the rest of our lives.
