Another song that meant a lot to me after my brothers death was “Daniel”. I’ve posted it below and tried to explain what it said to me personally.
“Daniel”
Elton John and Bernie Taupine
Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
(he’s leaving us and his earthly home)
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
(well, he wasn’t headed for Spain, but I could see the red tail lights as he flew out of sight--actually my eyes were quite red)
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
They say Spain is pretty though I've never been
(I’ve read about heaven, sounds pretty)
Well Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen
Oh and he should know, he's been there enough
Lord I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much
( I do miss Charley, very much--but it doesn’t hurt as much as it once did.)
Daniel my brother you are older than me
(he was 3 years older than me)
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal
(he had scars from tests, surgeries--of course, no more pain)
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
(his physical eyes have died, but he sees so much more now that he has perfect eyes to see with. the eyes of Jesus)
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky
(Charley’s up there in the heavens--a star)
Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
Oh God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
