When I was just a teen
I lost my dad
I didn't know what to do
We think about him all the time

When I see a flower bloom
I cry for you
When it starts to die
I cry again

When a house is built
I cry for you
When it burns down
I cry again

When You died
I tried to hide
thinking it was just a dream
That will never go away
