Verse 1
When my friend River died, I stayed behind
Prostrate in my room, the tears came unkind
Heaven felt far, unreachable, untrue
I wondered if I’d ever find a place in the blue
Verse 2
I couldn’t drive home, I couldn’t face the scene
His laughter now a whisper in memories serene
Grief held me down, tied me to my bed
In the silence, I spoke with the dead
Verse 3
Days turned to nights, pain unspoken
Heart in pieces, spirit broken
Memories linger, echoes of the past
In the shadows, grief held fast
Chorus
In the silence, questions rise
Grief and hope, tangled ties
Is there peace beyond the skies?
In the chaos, our spirit cries
Bridge
Will the pain ever fade?
In this life’s masquerade?
Is there meaning in the sorrow?
Will we find hope in tomorrow?
