Work Text:
Sit in the sun, if that is what pleases you
Enjoy each new day as it comes
Go for a run, if that is what else eases you
Always take time to have fun
Tears that you cry, they don't define you
But know that your feelings don't lie
You will not die, this pain will refine you
Don't give up now, you still must try
Fall into her arms, just let them guard you
Don't let the calls rouse alarm
Her presence a charm, her talisman ward you
Shelter you now from more harm
It wasn't the plan, the way this is ending
Holding you, dozens of hands
We stand with you now, support and defending
We're in this together - a band
Now hold your head high, you are not alone in this
I see that dimmed spark in your eye
You did what you could, not a thing to atone in this
Breeze blow all your troubles on by
Take life as it comes, you will find your peace again
You soon will find more joy and zeal
And in the hard moments, may suffering ease again
You truly do deserve to heal
One day when it's over, you'll look back on all of this
Once, long ago, you had thrived
But truth is inside of you, perspective can't alter this
That strength will be how you survived
You must dig deep, summon it from within you now
It's hard but you're nearly home
Though you are bloodied, your head still remains unbowed
May you find peace as you roam
Take her hand softly, new journey soon starting
Gather the children and run
We'll all still be here as we watch you departing
Follow the path of the sun
