about

In honor of our good friend, Liam Tran.

lyrics

They ask me to sing a song
That I’ve hardly ever sung without you.
And as I sing along
I find all the words are about you.

When I listen to our repertoire,
The songs you sang the best,
It’s the echoes of your high school choir
Laying you to rest

You keep coming up in photos
As though you never went
But you would rather us know those
than an embalmed face
the color of cement.

I picture your paradise
It looks like a house on a hill.
Smells like cooking and caring, sounds like dancing and sharing
You’re living it up as our heavenly host still

Your mom
Your little brother standing tall
Your sister
And your dad who missed it all

You keep not being in conversation
As though you’re just in Maine,
But we all watched in Houston as the congregation thanked the lord that you would sing again.

It looks like a house on a hill.
Smells like cooking and caring, sounds like dancing and sharing
You’re living it up as our heavenly host still
