lyrics

It's been twenty-five years
since you first opened your eyes
Then twenty-five went by
before we gathered by your side
and let you close them
down the hall from a mother
looking at her daughter for the time
in the very same room where you found
your first breath of this life

after the funeral we'll divide your things
among the ones that you love,
tell stories and say things
like, "I know he's watching from above."

I know you're watching from above

so to whoever walks the ghosts out of this hospital
I hope there's music where you go
and if no one walks the ghosts out of this hospital
I call upon Brian
"Brian, go and gather all the ghosts!"

Just like I hope when my mother dies
her ghost can talk to babies
because they're the only ones that kept her alive.
