Flying into the Son

A year ago you said good bye

And flew into the sun

And every day that has passed since

Hurts as much as that one.

But I am learning to believe

That, when my life is done,

I’ll follow in the path you took

And fly into the Son.

I've missed you every day that’s passed,

I’ve counted every one,

But I’ll stick with the task you set

Until my work is done.

And someday when I’ve finished here,

When all my wars are won,

You’ll come for me and lead me home,

We'll fly into the Son.
