[Verse 1]
Do you remember
That warm fall day
We brought Grandma's ashes
Up to Lake Superior
Down the shore we called out
Her glorious name
[Verse 2]
Oh I remember
The blue of that sky
The water cool around our legs
The way it never ended

Wish I told you
You're the bravest one of us all
So much joy we can cling to
Even if the missing don't stop
[Verse 3]
So comes summer
And with it this rush
For breezes gentle on our cheeks
And lips so easy smiling
We'll devote ourselves
Let this carry us
[Chorus]
But I still
Wish I told you
You're the bravest one of us all
So much joy we must cling to
Even when the missing don't stop
[Verse 4]
We'll find ways to keep in the sun
Roll out of bed into an open palm
Shielded from this world's weary spell
Hush now, you are safely held
Hush now, you are safely held
