My grief so strong but yet unsound
Yet one thought keeps me from drowning in the tears
That you are there sympathizing through my pain and fears
No one asked you to take the time on me
But you did, you answered when no one would hear my plea
You gave me your words and showed me I am not alone
You took my pain and my worries and made them your own
I will never know how to show you what a difference you have made
Because of you, instead of picking up the gun that night I got on my knees and prayed

Because of you

Another tear falls to the ground
My grief so strong but yet unsound
Yet one thought keeps me from drowning in the tears
That you are there sympathizing through my pain and fears
No one asked you to take the time on me
But you did, you answered when no one would hear my plea
You gave me your words and showed me I am not alone
You took my pain and my worries and made them your own
I will never know how to show you what a difference you have made
Because of you, instead of picking up the gun that night I got on my knees and prayed
