Hole in the World

words: Allan Thomas
music: Jim Kimo West

I’ll float a small raft with a candle

In a ceremony of remembrance

May you rest where love resides

Know that I’ll see you on the other side

*There’s a hole in the world

Where you used to be  

Nothing can fill this vacancy

Missing your kind beautiful soul

There’s a hole in the world

While you lived you shined your light on us all

Like a beacon till your last port of call

Life is short time decides the end.

Not sure if my heart will ever mend

*There’s a hole in the world

Where you used to be  

Nothing can fill this vacancy

Missing your kind beautiful soul

There’s a hole in the world

A tangle of sorrow and affection

Lives on in my heart and mind

There’s comfort in consolation

But closure will take some time

Sleep-walking in a cloud of disbelief

But I know you’d want me to find relief

I mourn your loss greatly you were a godsend

Cherish your memory till we meet again

*There’s a hole in the world

Where you used to be

I try my best but still feel lost at sea

Missing your kind beautiful soul

There’s a hole in the world where you used to be

A hole in the world
