Wrote this for a friend returning to her home country.

lyrics

Amelie, Amelie, she’s going back to Germany
On Saturday, she’ll fly away, and now this sunny sky feels gray
So Amelie, here’s to thee, and to your flight across the sea
May you be blessed, may you find rest, we wish and pray you all the best

Amelie, Amelie, like the verse of poetry
Hear the chime, wedge the lime, the meaning comes to you in time
Amelie, you are free, to be all you’re meant to be
So write a verse, and sing a song, we’re gonna miss you when you’re gone

Amelie

Amelie, Amelie, give my best to Germany
May our paths cross again, you’ll be in His arms till then
Another time, a different rhyme, a little higher on the climb
So have no fear, and have no shame, trust in Him who spoke your name

Amelie

In every place, look to His face
He’ll lead you home, where’er you roam

Amelie
