This is a sad but beautiful song by the group Red. It’s about anyone you’ve lost. Guess part of packing and seeing old pictures is also realizing all those who have passed on as well.

Hymn for the Missing

LYRICS

I tried to walk together

But the night was growing dark

Thought you were beside me

But I reached and you were gone

Sometimes I hear you calling

From some lost and distant shore

I hear you crying softly for the way it was before

Where are you now

Are you lost

Will I find you again

Are you alone

Are you afraid

Are you searching for me

Why did you go I had to stay

Now I’m reaching for you

Will you wait, will you wait

Will I see you again

You took it with you when you left

These scars are just a trace

Now it wonders lost and wounded

This heart that I misplaced

Where are you now

Are you lost

Will I find you again

Are you alone

Are you afraid

Are you searching for me

Why did you go I had to stay

Now I’m reaching for you

Will you wait, will you wait

Will I see you again
