I haven't seen you smile in a while
I haven't heard your laugh
Haven't heard you crack a joke,
Or wear your baseball cap
Things like this, they worry me
We've all been there before;
This time, you shut the one behind,
The life is draining from your eyes,
The light from your sweet soul
The flag you wear upon your head
I wish there was a way for me
Make your burdens mine to own
I wish that any action took
But all I have is my own self,
My things, and this old this town
But if there's nothing else to do
You've been a friend, a mentor too,
And I'd take it all away.
Tomorrow comes all too soon,
But please, just let me know
If I can brighten up your day.
