When Jamie died

I didn't understand

The eternity of my sadness

I wish I could have prevented it



When I rest in bed

Dream about how I could have

Lived and played with my brother

How I wish that I could have saved him



If wishing could bring him back

He'd be here with me today

But then I remember...

It happened anyway



When I look at pictures

And imagine what he would be like

Now a dozen years old

I wish could have saved him from agelessness



If crying could bring him back

He'd be here with me today

But then I remember...

It happened anyway



When I think of why and how

He was with us and he left us

I wish I could have prevented it

And stopped his death, and saved him from

Never needing breath for birthday candles...

For Birthday candles



If wishing could bring him back

He'd be here with me today

But then I remember



When Jamie died we didn't understand

Oh, but then I remember

It happened anyway

It happened anyway



It happened anyway

It happened anyway
