Lyrics
I Imagine a Better Place
Vocals and lyrics by Mary McGrath
Copyright 3/18/18-All rights reserved




Sometimes people vanish
At times you didn’t know
What really troubled them
For not all heartache shows

Perhaps there’s a  reason
People leave this earth behind
Maybe it’s their season
They’re ready for the sublime

All I know is that to me
I’ll miss you here nearby
To make me laugh so boldly
And at times to make me cry

Life is such a mystery
Things happen without cause
A new fork in the journey
Unpredictable because

We must extract this life we know
From living everday
Not hide in the shadows
Filled with dismay

I will look for you in darkness
When twilight winks at me
Feel free to pay a visit
For I’m not afraid you see

We’re all a part of nature
As it takes its many shapes
We’re here for just awhile
Until our spirits are remade


Chorus

Where are you going?
Can I visit too?
Sometimes the world down here
Is very far from true

I imagine a better place
Above where spirits soar
A place exempt from greed and strife
Where there seems to be so much more….

Another wonderful collab with the gifted and much missed Patrick.
Really love the lyrics to this Mary.
Listening to this really made my morning.
Sipping my tea while listening to thee...

Thank you everyone, at the time I did these lyrics, I had suffered the loss of some people very close to me. I don't believe that our lives and after we die. This is a tribute to that.
