AsI sit and watch my friend
I feel my hands are tied;
I cannot take her pain away
No matter how hard I try.
The Lord has called her brother
and has taken him on,
She is still in denial
She can't believe he's gone.
I watch her and I want
to take her pain away.
So that she'll feel peaceful
on this dreadful day.
I comfort her with open arms
and try to ease her pain,
Although the feeling she once had
will never be the same.
