lyrics

We played in the backyard where we stood tall
Carefree and innocent, our problems so small
The whole town’s dressed in their darkest
And flowers in their hair
The whole room falls to silence
As tears begin to dance
Your sister stands at the front
But I’m sure you can see her
I buried my brother today
But I’ll smile anyway
The whole town cried today
I played in the backyard where you stood tall
We watched each other grow old, I watched you grow small
The whole town was there
And the church doors opened in vein
We offer our condolences
To the soullessness, the hopelessness and pray
Your son stands at the front
But I’m sure you can see him
I buried my father today
But I’ll smile anyway
We sang hallelujah in the rain
The whole town cried today
I saw a grown man cry today
The whole town cried today
We sang hallelujah in the rain
