| I’m stuck on the floor, faces flood through the door,
|
| my stomachs turning again, I’m not sleeping.
|
| Think I could move but I won’t, my voice shakes when I talk,
|
| I feel it creep up my spine, I’m not dreaming.
|
| Come now, tell me, this pain, gets eased.
|
| I’m here, you leave, the sun won’t sleep.
|
| And I hope I’m the voice that you’ll know,
|
| even down here so for below.
|
| Tell me why do you have to go?
|
| There’s more fight in you than you will ever know.
|
| Tell me why do you have to leave,
|
| If somehow you can hear me, rest easy, see clearly.
|
| Underneath all the chaos, I know the truth that you keep.
|
| There’s nothing to fear now, no there’s nothing but peace.
|
| And I hope I’m the voice that you’ll know,
|
| even down here so for below.
|
| Tell me why do you have to go?
|
| There’s more fight in you than you will ever know.
|
| Tell me why do you have to leave
|
| If somehow you can hear me, rest easy, see clearly.
|
| Take me back, when I can remember you and him out in the field.
|
| The sun falling below the Carolina pines,
|
| the light slipping away like the look in your eyes.
|
| Those days I can never forget.
|
| Tell me why do you have to go?
|
| There’s more fight in you than you will ever know.
|
| Tell me why do you have to leave
|
| If somehow you can hear me, rest easy, see clearly. |
