TEXAS

She was 10, balloons at the door

Artwork on the fridge at the end of 4th grade

A whole life to dream for

Mom and Dad said she couldn’t wait for summer

They said her laugh was contagious, her light shined so bright

All taken from her

Why won’t this change us?

Why won’t we let the pain in, then let love rearrange us?

We’ve been here before, the wolf’s at the door

So we back down

All we do here is pray but there’s no more birthdays

In that Texas town

He was 10, with his hair slicked back

A wild-eyed grin, he liked to dance

He could run so fast

Mom and Dad said he was the sweetest boy in his class

Every kiss, every hug, every moment of love

They want everything back

Why won’t this change us?

Why won’t we let the pain in, then let love rearrange us?

We’ve been here before, the wolf’s at the door

So we back down

All we do here is pray but there’s no more birthdays

In that Texas town

Why won’t this change us?

Why won’t we let the pain in, then let love rearrange us?

We’ve been here before, the wolf’s at the door

So we back down

All we do here is pray but there’s no more birthdays

In that Texas town

All we do here is pray and there’s no more birthdays…
