lyrics

I flew away
I took you with me
On a plane bound for northern blue
You sat beside me
Staring out across the sky
“What are clouds made of?” you asked me
“Do you know what they are made of,
How do you know what they are made of, anyway?”

We landed lightly
Though with a heaviness
As we faced a family longing for before
We moved together
Holding hands and walking tight
“What are they thinking?” you asked me
“Do you know what they are thinking,
How do you know what they are thinking, anyway?”

CHO: Cause we never plan on changing
Never think we could grow older
What we see in our reflection
Is a never changing face
But time moves on us quickly
And we bear up as the brave
As we walk this life with
Heart and Hope and Grace

I drove to Gainesville
And I was nervous
I hadn’t seen you in over twenty years
You looked the same to me
And I looked like my mom
“How you do stay the same?” you asked me
“Do you know you haven’t aged much,
How do you keep yourself from aging, anyway?”

And you were hesitant
To have me come there
Feeling old and blind and feeble in your years
And I was overwhelmed
With a flood of family tears
“Why has it been so long?” you asked me
“Do you know it seems forever,
And can you stay a little longer, anyway?”
CHORUS:

A still life
A strong life
That’s taken for granted
Till its taken away
This real life
These Blessed years

My uncle Odvin
He’s passed a hundred
And we pray he’ll last at least
few more years
Though he’s quite frail now
He’s far from letting go
“How have you stayed so long?” we asked you
“You seem to live forever
And does it feel like forever, anyway?
