Why her

By Cody Ward

Looking back at days of sorrow

Praying for that better tomorrow

Carefully I lay down in the grass

For now my heart is just shattered glass

I stair at the sky and wander why

Why, why did she have to die

As a cloud floats on by the setting sun

All my wonders, now they are done

She died for me, is what she said

She lived for me, and now she is dead

I loved her with all my heart

From this world she had to part

I sit by her grave every day

There you'll find me, there I'll stay

I lay there and cry tears of pain

Her sacrifice shall not be in vain

For these men who had killed her late that night

Who stole my love, who stole my light

There crime shall not be over looked

For my world that they have took

Still I scream to the heavens why

Why her not me, who had to die
