about

A friend and classmate, recently passed away very suddenly and tragically. This song is my response to that.

lyrics

She went on a journey, not knowing what she'd find.
She went to that country, leaving everything behind.
She met this new adventure with wonderment and grace
She greeted each new experience with a smile on her face.

Just like an angel, she left beauty in her wake
She played her harp and sang, for other people's sake.
Then came that tragic day when she just had to leave
She went on her journey and left us here to grieve.

When Mary met Michael, there was joy high above
He met her with a smile, and an outstretched hand, and love
When Mary met Michael, she felt his warm glow.
When Mary met Michael, there was weeping here below.

She knew when she saw him that there is music here.
And where there is music, she has no cause to fear
He handed her a harp and she plucked a golden tone.
She knew when she saw him, she would never be alone.

When Mary met Michael, there was joy high above
He met her with a smile, and an outstretched hand, and love
When Mary met Michael, she felt his warm glow.
When Mary met Michael, there was weeping here below.

When Mary met Michael, there was joy high above
He met her with a smile, and an outstretched hand, and love
When Mary met Michael, she felt his warm glow.
When Mary met Michael, there was weeping here below.
