Rest Well Silas

(Aweh, Silas)

Rest in peace, my son.

Thirteenth of July, the sky turned to grey

Everything changed, you were taken away

Two thousand twenty-six, a date etched in stone

Now I’m left standing, feeling so alone

My heart is heavy, the silence is deep

Watching the shadows while the world is asleep

I look at your picture, I whisper your name

Nothing in this life will ever be the same

Oh Silas, my boy, you were my guiding light

You left us too early in the middle of the night

Rest well, my angel, in the arms of the sky

It’s hard to say goodbye, but I have to try

Silas, you’re resting, far from the pain

Until we meet again, until we meet again

I remember your smile, how you brightened the room

Now flowers are fading, caught in the gloom

But heaven is calling, you’re walking the street

With stars in your footsteps, soft on your feet

Eish, it’s a burden, this cross that I bear

Searching for solace, breathing the air

But you’re in a place where the sorrow is gone

Watching over me from the breaking of dawn

Oh Silas, my boy, you were my guiding light

You left us too early in the middle of the night

Rest well, my angel, in the arms of the sky

It’s hard to say goodbye, but I have to try

Silas, you’re resting, far from the pain

Until we meet again, until we meet again

Sharps, my heart is breaking in two

But I find my strength remembering you

Yebo, you’re shining, you’re dancing above

Surrounded by peace and surrounded by love

Just wait for me, Silas, wait by the gate

I’ll carry your memory, I’ll accept this fate

Thirteenth of July, the memory stays

I’ll honor your spirit through all of my days

The log drums are quiet, the piano is slow

Reflecting the love that you’ll always know

Sleep now, my son, let your spirit be free

Forever a part of the soul inside me

No more tears falling, just gratitude now

For the time that we had, for the life, for the vow

Oh Silas, my boy, you were my guiding light

You left us too early in the middle of the night

Rest well, my angel, in the arms of the sky

It’s hard to say goodbye, but I have to try

Silas, you’re resting, far from the pain

Until we meet again, until we meet again

Rest well, Silas.

We love you always.

(Sho, rest in peace)

Until we meet again.
