There's a feeling stuck inside me about a leader of life's band, you're the one who showed me how to play And whispered, "Yes you can," You taught me life and living love, your wisdom was my friend, Will I see you again? There's a memory making motion about a beacon burning bright, you're the one who turned my troubled times from darkness into light. Your guiding ray unveiled the way, you counseled till the end - Will I see you again? You always cautioned at the door, "Remember who you are." 'Cause I guess you saw in me what I could be. I needed you to need me, and you stretched a helping hand, unselfishly, so tenderly, left footprints in my sand. You let me understand. There's a notion nestled in me about the rules of the Master Man. Even though you lost the battle here, you won the war in his plan. I'll miss you hugs and eyes that grin; but we'll meet once more, so long till then, When I see you again. Yes, I'm going to see you again.
