Description
There seems to be a lot of sadness around lately. It is a fact of life. So to get past that, I have been trying to write a happy song. For whatever reason, I could not do it. I wrote this and could not get it out of my head. Someone told me the only way I could move on was to let this out, that it needed to be said. So here it is...I ask you ahead of time to forgive me for doom and gloom. I just needed to release these feelings. God's blessings to each of you and your families. You have sure blessed me with your support and friendsips here.

Lyrics
Open your eyes
Take a deep breath
First there is life
And then there is death
He was only 18
And his heart was broken
There was no one who knew
No words he had spoken
And then one day
He threw his life away
And left us standing here
Open your eyes
Take a deep breath
First there is life
And then there is death
She was only 18
And she was always alone
She thought everyone else
Had somewhere better to go
And then one day
She threw her life away
And left us standing here
Why am I standing here
Standing here
I didn't want to let you go
Let me make it clear
You were so dear
I'm sorry I didn't let you know
And then one day
You threw your life away
And left us standing here
Standing here
Standing here
Take a deep breath
First there is life
And then there is death
He was only 18
And his heart was broken
There was no one who knew
No words he had spoken
And then one day
He threw his life away
And left us standing here
Open your eyes
Take a deep breath
First there is life
And then there is death
She was only 18
And she was always alone
She thought everyone else
Had somewhere better to go
And then one day
She threw her life away
And left us standing here
Why am I standing here
Standing here
I didn't want to let you go
Let me make it clear
You were so dear
I'm sorry I didn't let you know
And then one day
You threw your life away
And left us standing here
Standing here
Standing here

Standing here, looking at the same teenage world through the same parents' eyes... time for a huge group hug. Parents and kids. Thank you for sharing this very touching song... beautifully written and performed and sung, and as always, heartfelt.
