Her name was Tori She ran like a cheetah Spots speckled her body Her hair blew in the wind Soft laughter escaped her She ran for enjoyment T was for talent She could do anything O was for odd She was her own person R was for radiant She emitted an aura I was for intelligence She had a mind of everything She fit her name like a glove Silent awe in her wake No one could stop her Something always burned within She never stopped running

I heard that there are seasons To laugh and to cry I struggle with the season When You lived and You died It's hard to play this game Because the rules, they don't seem fair If You care, God if You're still there [Verse 2] Bombs falling in Syria A child dying of AIDS Fighting 'round the world A daddy lost his girl Still we kneeled and prayed But Heaven can feel silent And the floor beneath gets cold When your soul refuses to let go [Pre-Chorus] But wait, tell me am I too late? [Chorus] What happens when the healing never comes? Do we stand and curse the heavens Or lift our hands and feel the sun The mystery's not clear Just once, Your voice I'd love to hear What happens when the healing never comes? [Verse 3] I know we love the seasons Like summer and the spring But I've been stuck in winter Since the fall of misery One day I'm full of anger And the next I'm full of fear Every year, there's a new supply of tears [Pre-Chorus] But wait, tell me am I too late? [Bridge] Is there a chance for me to believe We would dance together soon If there's a billion galaxies I'll count each one 'til I'm with You They say where You are is better But I want You here with me Oh, this is for a purpose But hurt won't let me see [Verse 4] So now I must be silent Your voice is in the wind The hands that made the heavens Will heal the storm within I have so many questions I don't know where to begin Since You were there at the beginning You already know the end [Chorus 2] Ooh, what happens when the healing never comes Do we stand and curse the heavens Or lift our hands and feel the sun The mystery's not clear Just once, Your voice I'd love to hear What happens when the healing What happens when the healing What happens when the healing never comes

When I have fears, I runaway And hide, concealed by a mask. When I have fears, I silently cry Hoping that no one will ask When I have fears, I sing a song Letting the notes comfort me. When I have fears, I feel young, Weak, vulnerable, and lonely. When I have fears, I tell myself It's not real it's merely a dream. When I have fears I always know It is real, though crazy as it may seem. When I have fears I try to fly, Leave, abandon the pain. When I have fears, I always remember, That fear just means I'm sane.
