Speak

Here we are Staunch and strong With a message that will grasp you Mind, heart and soul Listen to what we say No means will go astray "Suicide Awareness" Is what we're here for today Our people are dying Taking their lives and more Seeking peace, serenity Freedom from pain, most of all The pain that grips them Ripping their soul With no one to stop it Or make them feel whole But little do they know There's always someone at tow Waiting patiently for when It's time for them to show To open up and say That they're not OK And that's when things, will come into play The peace, serenity and freedom they seeked Was right there beside them All they had to do was speak No more pain and suffering There's always a way And sooner or later Everything will be OK ...
