I HAD TO SEE TO IT

IT’S REALLY A SHAME THAT NOBODY BUT ME
REMEMBERS THAT YOU ARE GONE
YOU HAD NO FAMILY OR ANYBODY
LEFT TO CARRY ON
I WAS JUST A LITTLE BOY
WHEN YOU WENT AWAY
I DIDN’T FIND OUT TIL I WAS GROWN
THERE WAS NO MARKER ON THE GROUND WHERE YOU LAY

FOR THE NEXT TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
THIS STILL BOTHERED ME
I KEPT WISHING THERE WAS SOMETHING I COULD DO
TO TRY AND SET YOU FREE
IT JUST SEEMED LIKE AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK
SOMETHNG I WOULD NEVER SEE
UNITL SOME GOOD PEOPLE STEPPED IN AND MADE IT A REALITY

(Chorus)
IT REALLY MEANS A LOT TO ME
THAT THE WORLD KNOWS WHO YOU WERE
I HAD TO SEE TO IT THAT EVERYONE KNEW
THAT YOUR LIFE WAS NOT JUST A BLUR
I’M SO SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG
BEFORE I GOT AROUND TO IT
I HAD TO SEE IT DONE SO ALL WOULD KNOW
I HAD TO SEE TO IT

YOU WERE ALL JUST SIMPLE FOLKS
NEVER CLAIMED TO BE ANYTHING MORE
YOU LIVED YOUR LIFE JUST THAT WAY
YOU WERE SOLID TO THE CORE
HOW I WISH I COULD SIT AND TELL YOU
ALL THAT’S HAPPENED SINCE YOU’VE BEEN GONE
BUT EVERYTHING’S BETTER NOW SINCE I KNOW
THAT YOUR MEMORY LIVES ON

(To Chorus) c 2017 Roger B. Wilson
