The Lost Child and the Lonely Cry
i could feel it shake
the world as an earthquake
i could see the dust and all i want to do is run
i didnt know and i could not see
my heart was pounding so hard
my legs only carried me so fast
i could hear it then
or rather sense it in a way
but i continued running
hoping with a heavy heavy heart
that everything was ok
then the dust cleared
and i knew it to be true
i lost my brother
the only family i every knew
the world had eaten him up
swollowed him whole
this cant be right
i had no control
and me and him were so tight
if i could just hold him
and tell him that it would be alright
let him know i love him
and hug him oh so tight
i made a promise i couldnt keep
i told him i would say goodbye
and said that i would not weep
but i never thought he would die
on the plane where no passengers survived
fate is so cruel
but i know i must live on
you would have to if i was gone
ten years later my life is a success
its for you hun
for you i do my very best
