Welcome Home
Put down the knife
Let down your hair
Abandon those thoughts
You're no longer there
I was there
Watching from above
Answering your prayers
Sending my love
I watched you wither
Consumed in your pain
Silently screaming
Their words echoing in your brain
I tried to save you
To hold your hand
To reassure your worth
But I couldn't stop what you'd planned
As the blood rushed from your veins
And you gasped for air
I pulled you close
As you softly murmured a prayer
I'm here to tell you
You're no longer alone
Welcome to Heaven,
Welcome Home
