This is the first track on the EP, and begins the story and my personalised stages of grieving. The song talks about the initial event of my grandfather's death and what my family went through when the news was delivered from the doctors.
lyrics
While we wait, we hold each other in our arms, hoping that the prayers
we're saying find their way up from our palms.
An ordinary day, we were never thinking twice - never grateful
for the breath that we possess, and underestimate our lives.
Flashing lights and sirens, and the sadness fills the air,
rushing to a destination - we don't know if he'll be there. They make their
own predictions hoping that their word is true, we are only human - if not
for faith what would we do?
We are told it could be any day now, so we playing the waiting game,
when will his guard fall down? Things won’t be the same, we don't even know
what mind frame this poor man is now stuck in, so we sit and play
the waiting game but no one ever wins.
On my mind all day, as soon as I walked in the door I asked if there
was any progress and was told he wasn't with us anymore.
