He goes and promises to return He always does - so we believed He's faithful as a healthy heart Never missing the time to return He is gone! Reported a messenger Yes we know was our retort Of course he is gone and said he would return No! I mean he is gone was the messenger's next line The man of valor fell prey to the claws of death The innocence of our minds took long to comprehend What does it mean to be gone and not return? What city is that far and strong to keep the strong man? We're growing to only know that he was Nobody who in his stead steps seems to know, They never know what he means to us, Nor what he does, they're all unreal actors If that city still exists, we too one day would be gone! Painfully we'd leave here but hopefully we'd meet him there Maybe he still lives with his smile and bravery In his arms by his help, we'd build our world in that city

GONE?
He goes and promises to return He always does - so we believed He's faithful as a healthy heart Never missing the time to return He is gone! Reported a messenger Yes we know was our retort Of course he is gone and said he would return No! I mean he is gone was the messenger's next line The man of valor fell prey to the claws of death The innocence of our minds took long to comprehend What does it mean to be gone and not return? What city is that far and strong to keep the strong man? We're growing to only know that he was Nobody who in his stead steps seems to know, They never know what he means to us, Nor what he does, they're all unreal actors If that city still exists, we too one day would be gone! Painfully we'd leave here but hopefully we'd meet him there Maybe he still lives with his smile and bravery In his arms by his help, we'd build our world in that city
