As soon as I closed my eyes,
the memories fought back in
and I was so paralyzed
to know that I had no kin
you were the one, my family
you were the only light I'd see
in the darkness of this cruel world,
just enough to break my soul

As soon as I laid in surrender,
the words you said floated in my head,
and I was numb to believe,
that I would never see you again,
you were the one, who knew me best
you were the only reason left,
in the choices that I had to make
you were my only chance to live

As soon as I felt the rain,
touch my palm and again,
and you were the one, to make me feel
that I still had a chance to heal
you were the one to quiet the noises,
in my head,the disturbing voices
how could he take you away
If you'd live just another day

Why won't he take me?
why would he choose break me,
I've heard that the people he takes along
are the best and the most humble ones
why would you leave me now?
after healing me with every touch of yours

You were taken away,
and I wish I was taken tomorrow
for this world for small enough
to hold in my sorrow

As soon as I woke up again,
I knew I'd never hold your hand
I'd never hear you sing again
I'd never hear you say just live again
I'd never just be who I am.
