Hold back the wave from the shore

Hide every pathway to your door

Count all the tears behind your eyes

Go tell the dawn it's not to rise



To the world, to the moon

In words across the sky

To the stars

I scream these words out loud

To the night

With thoughts that tear inside

He is gone, he is gone



Hold back the day from the night

Turn all the darkness into light

Go tell the dogs they're not to bark

Silence the singing of the lark



He is gone

And I don't know if I'll ever feel the same again

He is gone

But I know I never want to feel this pain again

Inside again



Turn back the seasons of the year

Turn off the music in your ear

Follow the bird that starts to fly

Comfort the children as they cry
