The World I leave In My Wake

Watching the world I leave in my wake
Pondering what it all meant
Knowing I cannot pass there again
Believing it time well spent

Watching the world I leave in my wake
Watching it all hurry by
Moments of joy and moments of love
Times when I sat down to cry

Watching the world I leave in my wake
A wake that rolls on and on
And yet my reflection lingers still
Long after the wake is gone

Watching the world I leave in my wake
I ask something in your name
Make the world I leave in my wake
Better than before I came
