The Question "Why"

For a friend who was once very sick...

Sorrow drops from my eyes

Weariness falls from your lips

Someone write me the lines to say

I can’t even speak with you

I’ll scream at the walls

And tell the devil to leave

Leave your body alone

Now you’re the one with clever words and light

I’m the one in shadows and doubt

If my fears came true

You’d be headed for heavenly realms

Don’t leave me in hell

Don’t go where I cannot follow

Your smile cut my sorrow for you in two

Leaving me behind in a world full of questions

You’re surrounded by infinite answers now

I remember when we would scream at the stars

Oh, I could never forget

Through your weakness we are strong

Through your weakness we are strong
