Gone

so gentle a cry

we couldn't hear

so little a voice

so big a fear

with open arms

he came to us

looking for love

looking for trust

with cold lying eyes

we turned him away

no time to talk

no time to play

one last time

he tried to show

what no one

could ever know

one last time

he tried to hide

all the pain

locked up inside

he's so far away

now we'll never know

how we couldn't see

all the pain he tried to show
