• My sister sang this at my grandma's funeral.   She's was a music major and wrote it several weeks before she died.

  
  

  Its beautiful, and not just cause its about my grandma...I wish you could hear it with the music.

  Bologna and Lemonade

  
  

  Her special treat

  
  

  and reading out loud in her home.

  
  

  The story of colors and Rumpelstiltskin

  
  

  and the train that chased its tail.

  
  

  But most of all was her love of God

  
  

  and her longing to go home.

  
  

  Though she fell on hard times

  
  

  so long ago

  
  

  she's been waiting for this day all her life.

  
  

  Cause' she's home free and praising the Lord

  
  

  reunited with loved ones past

  
  

  but best of all things and I know she'd agree

  
  

  is she's finally home free with her Lord.

  
  

  Crocheting and knitting

  
  

  Embroidery and books

  
  

  and all of the things that she loved,

  
  

  couldn't compare with her longing to be

  
  

  Back with her husband and kids

  
  

  But even more important then being with them.

  
  

  was her longing to go home.

  
  

  Chorus;   Cause she's home free and praising the Lord.

  
  

  reunited with loved ones long past

  
  

  but best of all things and I know she'd agree

  
  

  is she's finally home free with her Lord.
