They celebrated your memory with a dance
and not just any dance
but the dance you taught them
the dance the gave life back to Elders
they mimic your moves to the song
sang the song while they cried
they raised their hands up high
waved to the sky
... waved good bye
they danced
He sang your song
the same song that asked for your hand
that same song he sang at your reception for you
the song he sang, to say good bye to you
no tears he cried
he just raised his voice on high
raised his hand to the sky
he sang, while they danced
to say I love you and the last Good bye
He sang...
We cried
after song and dance
when passing your sleeping host
we cried again
the songs made us cry harder
the dance made us cry louder
there was no man that wasn't shy
there wasn't one eye that didn't cry
the pastor had to pause because he cried
then the pastor raised his hand up high
asked the Lord for the strength to read
couldn't get pass the song her man sings
try to stay focus while they danced
couldn't keep his hand high
cause his hand wipe his face
from tears he cried
we cried
they cried
we raised our hands up high
dance until we had more cries
hands up high
waved in praise
as we waved Good Bye...
We DANCED, SANG, and CRY.....
