I wrote this not for myself personally, but for those who is forced to lose someone they love, I've seen people scream at God in hurt and anger and other things written in this song.

You were too young
When you spread your wings
I can hear voice
While I try to sleep

Telling me it's okay
Easier said than done
There's nothing left to say
But I've only just begun

Cause i could shake my fist
And ask God why
The old live too long
While the young always die
Yeah I could scream
Until my lungs gave out
I could tell a stranger what it's all about
Or i could cuss like a sailor
But what good would it do?
When all I want Yeah all I want
Is One more minute with you

They said you were better now
And I walked away
I hit my knees
But I didn't pray

Instead I punched the ground
Cause now it's the one holding you
Yeah it doesn't know you
Quite like I do

And I don't want to sleep at night
Cause my dreams always laugh at me

Cause i could shake my fist
And ask God why
The old live too long
While the young always die
Yeah I could scream
Until my lungs gave out
I could tell a stranger what it's all about
Or i could cuss like a sailor
But what good would it do?
When all I want Yeah all I want
Is One more minute with you

Yeah all I want
All I want

Is to shake my fist and ask God why
The old live too long
While the young always die
God I wonder why
Yeah I could scream
Until my lungs gave out
I could tell a stranger what it's all about
Or i could cuss like a sailor
But what good would it do?
When all I want Yeah all I want
Is One more minute with you

Yeah all I want
Is one more minute with you

Tonight I need some sign
Won't you let me know if I'm still alive
Tell me if I'm only dreaming
Yeah tell me if I'm still breathing

Cause I feel so weak
And everything looks so bleak
The clouds can hold back the rain
But my body can't take the pain

So if you want
Would you lay with me tonight
Yeah if you want
Would you hold me close
And dry my eyes
Yeah it seems so wrong
Cause I don't
No I really don't want to go

Today was better
Than it has been for a while
And I could laugh
Yeah people even saw me smile

And it's such a pity
Yeah man it's such a shame
But if you want to baby
You can tell everyone my name

Yeah if you want
Would you lay with me tonight
Yeah if you want
Would you hold me close
And dry my eyes
Yeah It seems so wrong
Cause I swear I don't
No I really don't want to go

People who put you through Hell will never believe you truly went until you return and they see the burns on your body.

Well I looked in the mirror
Hoping to see a friendly face
He was a stranger like me
In an unfamiliar place

I said "hello how are you doing"
He said "I won't tell you no lies
I don't know who I am anymore"
And I started to cry

Cause I'm standing here
Talking to myself again
Turning to another stranger
Trying to find a friend
Good Lord I don't know what I'm doing
God knows I've tried
But it looks like more elevator talk
Between him and I

I saw that man again today
Standing in a puddle on a stormy day
I asked him what he's doing Why he's out in the rain
He said the drops on his face helps him hide the pain

Cause I'm standing here
Talking to myself again
Turning to another stranger
Trying to find a friend
Good Lord I don't know what I'm doing
God knows I've tried
But it looks like more elevator talk
Between him and I

A Poet comprehends the most about love, however in ironic commentary, they have experienced the least amount of it.

"The Answer is No"- a musical number for a play I'm writing.  

Mother:
What about a baker

Main
There's one already up the road

Mother
Or you could be a tailor

Main
I don't know a thing about clothes

Mother
You could have a life as a librarian
And put books on the shelves

Main
I'm sorry to disappoint you mother
But That's for someone else

Mother I see more
When people run
I want to soar
To places I've never seen before
I'd like to live out all my dreams
And if it's not what it seems
Then you'll be the first to say I told you so
But until that day mother
The answer is no

Mother
Darling you could fall
Flat on your face

Main
But I could also watch where I step
And yep! I'm still in the race

Mother
You're far too young
I know what you'll go through

Main
Mother it's time to shift I  have a gift
And one day It'll take care of you

Even when I'm awake
I want to dream
When people whisper
I want to scream
I have my voice to be heard
It doesn't sound absurd
And if the worst should happen
I know where to go....
Until that day mother, the answer is no

Mother
But don't you see...

Main
Let me live my dream, mother
The answer is no!
