Why did you have to leave me? Why did you have to die?
Was I not meant to keep you? Why do I have to cry?
I want to scream, I want to shout, I sometimes want to die
I need to know the answers, why did you have to fly?
You were taken from me and I've suffered so much pain
Please someone come explain to me, why me, why me again???
When all thats left is memories, what can make us carry on?
When all thats left is heartache, the days they seem so long
What happens after this, I wonder everyday
What if all the memories, begin to fade away?
What happens when your life is shattered, can you still go on?
What do you do when the tears start to fall, each time you hear that one song?
How do you pick up the pieces, how do you even try to mend?
When all thats left is memories, until we can hold our babies again
Help me find the strength, someone please take my pain
Give my baby back to me, so I can smile again
I know I will see her sometime, in the future far away
I should seek comfort from that, but today I only feel pain
If we could hold you for one more moment, in our arms, not just our hearts
Would we ever let you go again, Could we bear to be apart?
If we could tell you all the stories, we planned to tell you when you were born
Would you stay a little longer and not leave us all forlorn???
If we could look into your pretty face, and know how you would grow
Could we take you home with us? Because we miss you so
If tears could make a river, would you sail back home quickly
We would never let you go again and our hearts would be pain free
Is it possible, tell me, to hold on to dreams
When they've crumbled to ashes and nothing it seems
Remains but the memories of happier days
When tomorrow held promise in infinite ways
Can you hold on to hope after losing a child?
When nothing makes sense and nothings worthwhile?
When the days and the nights all roll into one
And though movings an effort, its easy to run......
But no matter how fast, there seems no escape
From the pain and the heartache that follow and shape
The efforts we make to hold onto our dreams
That have crumbled to ashes, that are haunted it seems
By our constant companions of guilt and despair
Horror and grief tag along everywhere
Where are our answers?? Where does pain end??
I search and I suffer - I ask you again
Can you hold onto hope after losing a child?
When nothing makes sense and nothings worthwhile?
