can You hear them laughing
we only heard them cry
can they hear us down here
chokin’ back “why?”

and i can’t even tell You how i feel
cause i’m not sure that this is really real
but what’s Yours is Yours to take
what You make is Yours to break

but i can’t lay this in Your hands
God, i just don’t understand
how can this be part of Your plan?

if You’re holding them now
tell them we miss them so
the sweetest souls in heaven
we never got to know

and tell the secret of this lonely place
cause it’s too easy to think it’s all a waste
no answer is comfort to my ears
only time can dry my tears
