V1
When I was a kid
You were only maybe
Half a step below Jesus
But as I grew up
You became human
And the walls sprang up between us
All those wasted years
All the arguments and tears
Chorus
And now you're gone
The Heavenly Father
Has gathered you home
I can smile
For I know that you knew
The Only Begotten Son
I will grieve
But I know you'd proud
That I'm not crushed to the ground
This is not goodbye
It's not goodbye
It's Daddy I'll--see you around
V2
In my mind
Your wearing a halo
Above a Resistol hat
Just like in that picture
That I used to point to
And tell my friends
That's my Dad
This is not the end
Someday I'll see you again
Chorus
Cause though you're gone
And the Heavenly Father
Has gathered you home
I can smile
For I know that you knew
The Only Begotten Son
I will grieve
But I know you'd proud
That I'm not crushed to the ground
This is not goodbye
It's not goodbye
It's Daddy I'll--see you around
