Ode To QuoVadis Lyrics

The first time that I met you

It was easy to forget you

As you stood there in the kitchen fixing lunch

And 25 years after

We've shared puzzles, tears, and laughter

And I finally learned they used to call you BUNCH

You've taken such a long ride

Always, fighting from the inside

Never lashing out or trashing those who don't see things your way

Back in 1927 you were so far away from heaven

But you're just a little closer today

You tell me it's a blessin' that throughout the great depression

You always had a mattress and a meal

You raised a loving family, all free spirits and sometimes antsy

With a soldier boy by your side to seal the deal

You've taken such a long ride

Always, fighting from the inside

Never lashing out or trashing those who don't see things your way

In 1927 you were so far away from heaven

But you're just a little closer today

The soldier boy he passed away to a place we'll never know until the

Day and night blend into something we can't grasp

But the love you shared and the time you spent

Well none of that was an accident

And they are proof that sometimes good things really last

You've taken such a long ride

Always, fighting from the inside

Never lashing out or trashing those who don't see things your way

In 1927 you were so far away from heaven

But you're just a little closer today

The angels often spot us, hanging out with the great QuoVadis

And they ask themselves just who's taking care of who

Your wisdom and undying strength to always keep on trying

Keeps us smiling when the whole world looks so blue

You've taken such a long ride

Always, fighting from the inside

Never lashing out or trashing those who don't see things your way

Back in 1927 you were a hell of a long way from heaven

But you're just a little closer today
