This One Is For You
one day i remember looking you in the eyes
then the next day i sat in my room wanting to be surrounded by lies
but everything i was hearing was truth
my heart was broken by the death of one of God's youth
i couldn't understand how one so innocent could be here one second
and gone the next minute
i sat in my room silent
i didn't say a word
my breath stripped away
my eyes filled with tears
a heart broken in minutes
by one of my worst fears
i hope to see you in heaven
when i have completed my years
until then i pray that God will rest his hand on your shoulder
and protect you from harm and torture
