I don't believe in heaven
I don't believe in hell
I don't believe in love
But what I wish
If I die before my time
I don't want to be cast to hell
I don't want paradise
I want to be the silent guardian
As you graduate from college
Say "I do" at the altar
Take your child to school the first time
Move into that new house
I want to watch
Be that hand on your shoulder
To remind you of your worth
When your day isn't going well
I'll be there watching
When you have your 50th
I'll be there smiling
Wistfully hoping you could see me
But I'll still be there
When you get your first gray hair
When the kids graduate high school
When you cry as they go off to college
When you wish I was there
I'll always be there
When you get weak
When you can't do what you used to
When you're bedridden
I'll be there at your side
When you breathe your last
I'll be there with open arms
Welcoming you to my side again
That's what I wish
