Disbelief
When I first heard the news
It left me angry and confused
Knocked the wind out of my soul
When we lost what made us whole
And now there’s a heat behind my eyes
And I can’t stop asking why, why, why?
They say it’s gonna be okay
But it doesn’t take away
It doesn’t take away the pain
We don’t have to be afraid
'Cause I don’t think it’s an accident
That tears are shaped like seeds
So I’ll bury all my fears and trust they’re turning into trees
Oh, I’m fighting to believe
This is not the end of the story
Grief
You’re a loyal friend
Just when I thought I’d never see you again
You caught me by surprise
And took me back to simple times
When we all had a place
But now in every precious moment
I can feel the empty spaces
They say it’s gonna be okay
But it doesn’t take away
It doesn’t take away the pain
But we don’t have to fear the rain anymore
No, I don’t think it’s an accident
That tears are shaped like seeds
So I’ll bury all my fears and trust they’re turning into trees
Oh, I’m fighting to believe
This is not the end of the story
This is not the end of the story
Our lives are a poem
Our sorrow, half the lines
And there will come a day
When the good Lord makes it right
When the good Lord makes it right
Oh, when the good Lord makes it right
No, I don’t think it’s an accident
That tears are shaped like seeds
So I’ll bury all my fears and trust they’re turning into trees
And I’ll keep fighting to believe
That this is not the end of the story
This tragedy is not the end of the story
