Watch Over Us

We all stood there in despair
The same thoughts were in our minds
You shouldn’t have done what you did
Yet we know what you said were lies

You said your life was hopeless
You said you couldn’t go on
Why did you go and do what you did
We all know you did nothing wrong

Tears rolling down our cheeks
Our eyes glistened with fear
We all long for you with our hearts
We just want you back here

While you’re up there
We’re not asking for much
Just could you please protect
And watch over us
