Why do we live in this mean world?
Tell me why it seems to be
Everytime I ease my troubled mind
Somebody's leaving me?
Four out of fifteen gone
It's hard to believe
As I sit here with you tonight
Wondering
How could something go so wrong
When everything was almost right?
Hang in there
Don't be scared
Don't forget to pray
Someday we won't be sad anymore
And friends won't go away
Someone rock my soul to sleep
Whose turn is it now?
All my friends are buried so deep
I'm asking Lord, why and how?
Lord, how I want to, but I can't cry
I've been living with my fears
Clenching my fists
Lynching my heart to not give in to tears
Who will be left to sing so sweetly
A lullaby for Ben?
One by one
They become memories
Completing this circle of friends
Patiently, our names are called
And we stammer into fate
Sometimes we rise
Sometimes we fall
Sometimes it's just too late
I cannot live inside these walls
Though I believe it's true
We hand it over to heaven
When there's nothing more that we can do
