When the World Falls Down
What do you say when the world falls down?
What do you think when the sun hits the ground?
What do you have when there's nothing but air?
What do you see? Or do you even care?
She was here once, tall and strong,
The only right when all was wrong,
And as she bled I shared her pain,
Everything's gone- ripped away in the rain.
What do you say when you can't catch your breath?
What do you think when there are no words left?
What do you have when you've lost it all?
Who will catch you now when you fall?
Dawn broke this morning, I screamed at the moon,
For letting the daylight come all too soon,
I'm blinded by hope- never my own,
In the shadows I find my home.
What do you say to someone who's broken?
What do you think when no words are spoken?
What do you have when you hold their hand?
How can you claim you understand?
I walked out today and stood in the road,
Praying for someone to take off my load,
My hopes were answered as I saw the car,
But somebody saved me- I don't know who they are.
What do I say as I stare in the glass?
What do I think if these thoughts are my last?
What do I have when all I see is her?
How can I forget all that we were?
In the dark I see her face.
In my heart there is a place,
Filled with her smiles, her laughter and tears,
To see me through the coming years,
But death is certain and coming fast,
I don't know how long my life will last.
Hours and months stand in-between,
Until then she lives in my dreams.
