A brooding darkness surrounds my heart
the arrival of a stranger has forced us to part
with clouds and thunder straining my mind
It’s too dark to see, I may as well be blind

This uninvited guest visits far too often
surely there must be another way or option
we all want to live, but we don’t get to choose
as all of those that we love… we also lose

Now that our time together has come to an end
there is a harsh reality to losing another friend
so, If I could do magic or make three wishes come true
I would still be alive and standing right there with you

I’d create a magical world where death is banished, and life is fair
I’d wish I could turn back the clock and show you how much I care
I’d wish your arms could hold me, to feel one more loving embrace  
I’d wish I could comfort you, kissing shadows off your grieving face

If I had a magic trick, I’d trap death in a cage
with nowhere to hide it would face my rage
and I’d find a way back to you, but…
I can’t do magic or make wishes come true

So, if or when you feel the need…
let those shoulders heave
let the tear drops fall
let your heart bleed

In this moment, when it’s hard to see
that what must be…must be
think of this as a blessed release
as it’s now my time to ‘Rest in Peace’
