As I pull myself out of the depression
I had cried out all I could
Sadness over a loss of a friend
But as I turned and took in a deep breath
You come with a bigger loss than mine
You say to me that you had no clue
Who else to go to and asked if I ever
Lost someone to suicide...
A sacred silence
A tiny tear
I weep for you
And no longer for me
A sacred silence
Extending love
I listen now
No longer the speaker
A loss like this can gain no words
In a moment for sacred silence
Silence for you
Listening to you now of trauma so deep
You can't sleep; you dream of it
A grief over a loss of a friend
But as I hear and stay awake for you
You unload it all and I don't know...
You say to me that you had no clue
Who else to go to and though I was there
I wish I'd done more for you
A sacred silence
A tiny tear
I weep for you
And no longer for me
A sacred silence
Extending love
I listen now
No longer the speaker
A loss like this can gain no words
In a moment for sacred silence
Silence for you
Not much more can one do
Not much more can one say
(Let there be a sacred silence!)
But a loss like that is hard to go through
My friend, I guess all I can say
Is that you can't avoid the grief
(Let there be a sacred silence!)
It'll take time to heal
It'll be hard and won't be brief
The pain is something real
But you gotta have that sacred silence
A sacred silence
A tiny tear
I weep for you
And no longer for me
A sacred silence
Extending love
I lost you now
No longer able to speak
A loss like this can gain no words
In a moment for sacred silence
Let there be a sacred silence for you!
Let there be a sacred silence to heal!
Let there be a sacred silence
A sacred silence for you!
