as heaven has an overview,
choosing whose in the team.
someone must have needed you,
someone must have seen.

your mind kept wondering away from home,
and your cries became even louder.
you must have felt so alone,
in your own whispering dome.

it's OK if you were scared,
i would have been scared too.
with all the weight that your heart bared,
and there was nothing you could do.

i only knew you for a short time,
and time is never long enough.
only yesterday you were mine,
but all that grieving is tough.

eight years you were in my life,
i hope you enjoyed your stay.
your presence had control of my knife,
and you put my fears to lay.

now earth has lost an angel,
and heaven has gained a few.
i can only say farewell,
and thank god i came to know you
