I will Go On

I'll go on, after you.
Without you I'll go on,
Though something beautiful inside
Of me all has turned to stone.

I'll go on, after you.
Without you through the years
Full of pain and hurt
And bitter tears.

I'll go on, after you.
Without you I will heal,
Though love may labor in the heart
And the loss of joy conceal.

I'll go on, after you.
Without you I will grow
Though I build a wall around my heart
That you will never know.

I'll go on, after you.
Without you life goes on,
But neither hope nor happiness
Undoes what you have done.
