Long Way up There from Down Here (The Grandpa Song)

We laid him in the ground on a Saturday Sun was shining no wind that day Daddy said son it'll be ok It's a part of life that we all go through I was 10 years old I tried to stay strong But it hard me hard with grandpa gone So we bowed our heads to sing a hymn or 2 The preacher spoke of a better place Looked to the sky Said we'll all meet again some day I said Can we build a ladder take a plane God I wish that I had wings I wanna go there too Daddy said son it just takes time Sooner or later we're all gonna fly And grandpas up there waiting on me and you As he wiped away my tears Said it's a long way up there from Down here So Time went on like it does I grew up and had a son Came one day with a photo in his hand He asked me Dad who these folks here? I said 'oh man its been years That's your Grandpa and me when we were young He asked me Dad were is he now? Tears filled my eyes when I heard him blurt out! He said Can we build a ladder take a plane God I wish that I had wings I wanna go there too I said son it just takes time sooner or later we're all gonna fly And Grandpas up there waiting on me and you As I wiped away my tears Said its a long way up there from Down here So goes the Circle of Life From first breath to Devine Paradise Can We build a ladder take a plane God I wish we all had wings then we could go there too But Daddy said son it just takes time Sooner or later we're all gonna fly And grandpas up there waiting on me and you Until the Angels Appear It's a long way up there from down here It's a Long way up there from down here We laid him in the ground on a Saturday The sun was shining no wind that day
