THE SADDEST SONG

– FOR VERONICA GEURIN

I’ve often wondered                 ‘bout my place in this

Should I cry out                       Or should I kiss

I’ve never known                     What it is to die

But now I feel                          That I know why

                       

There are those                       Whose life I feel

But I am one                            Who cannot heal

So I sit back                            And say how sad

While others fight                    No meaning lack

NOW YOU ARE GONE            BUT WHAT THE HELL

WHAT DID YOU CHANGE      THAT WENT SO WELL

BUT YOUR SMALL CHANGE  AND COME WHAT MAY
ALLOWS THE SUN                 TO RISE TODAY

And then saddest fate of all    Cut down in prime

While we who sit                     And watch the time

And upside down                     the music rings

As right side up,                      our material things

So should I crave                    a life that shines

Or should I course                   the path that sings

And when I die                        What will I say

That I tried hard                       For another way

NOW YOU ARE GONE            BUT WHAT THE HELL

WHAT DID YOU CHANGE      THAT WENT SO WELL

BUT YOUR SMALL CHANGE  AND COME WHAT MAY
ALLOWS THE SUN                 TO RISE TODAY

Or will I follow,                         Too late I sing

A song that cries                     no material things

A difference makes                 Those who stand and fight

After the fact                            We feel the sight

So if I follow,                            a life that shines

Do I own the courage              that must be mine

It makes far cry,                      for to be brave

It takes far less,                       to be a slave

NOW YOU ARE GONE            BUT WHAT THE HELL

WHAT DID YOU CHANGE      THAT WENT SO WELL

BUT YOUR SMALL CHANGE  AND COME WHAT MAY
ALLOWS THE SUN                 TO RISE TODAY

So when I see,                        someone who cares,

I think how brave                     But I only stare.

NOW YOU ARE GONE            BUT WHAT THE HELL

WHAT DID YOU CHANGE      THAT WENT SO WELL

BUT YOUR SMALL CHANGE  AND COME WHAT MAY
ALLOWS THE SUN                 TO RISE TODAY

So when I see,                        someone who cares,

I think how brave                     But I only stare.

NOW YOU ARE GONE            BUT WHAT THE HELL

WHAT DID YOU CHANGE      THAT WENT SO WELL

BUT YOUR SMALL CHANGE  AND COME WHAT MAY
ALLOWS THE SUN                 TO RISE TODAY
