Dirt covered caskets
Threw out this life I’ve lived
I’ve seen so many things
I’ve watched the death of Angels
And all the pain it brings
I’ve seen the darkest nights
I’ve had the brightest day
Dirt covered caskets
Though memories will always stay
A larger than life imprint
Of a shoe that can’t be filled
The absence of you presence
A wound that can’t be healed
My greatest fear predestined
Despite my cry, my plea
I held your right hand
As I watched you taken from me
Dirt covered caskets
Though memories always stay
The memory of a mothers love
Press me forward each and every day
