Patchwork Quilt from In Process... by In Process

They unfolded your lives one by one.
Laid out your patchwork under the sun.
People gathered from miles around to witness your quilt laid on the ground.

And they called out your name.
Yes they called out your name.
Oh and you will live forever,
‘cause I’ll be loving you like a patchwork quilt.

Men and women, mothers and fathers,
sisters and brothers, daughters and sons,
children and babies, lovers and friends,
all laid before me sown into one.

And they called out your name.
Yes they called out your name.
Oh and you will live forever, .
‘cause I’ll be loving you like a patchwork quilt.

Your lives had meaning, your lives had joy.
You touched many people, more than you know.
You wrapped around me as I walked down your row,
letting me feel your beautiful soul.

I feel the warmth of your lives.
I feel the warmth of your lives.
Oh and you will live forever, ‘
‘cause I’ll be loving you like a patchwork quilt.

My heart spills over, flowing with tears.
I cry for your sufferings and shortened years.
I take you with me as I walk away
remembering you who have died with AIDS.

And I remember your names.
I remember your names.
Oh and you will live forever, ‘
‘cause I’ll be loving you like a patchwork quilt.
