And they tried to claim you
in death
but could not
for you were born from
above

They did not help you
for they could not
they knew not
LOVE

You who claim to be
his mother his brother
his cousin his bride

would you really rather
he died?

Oh that I could remove you all
from the face of the earth
I surely would!

My heart pities you
who never understood.

The ONE he loved
has taken him home.
As for me
I wait alone

For my son Joshua bone of my bone flesh of my flesh
