Faceless soldiers march to the ticking of the clock

Tramping through the marshes of time Never stopping, never slowing

What will you do when they reach you?

The world is full of ups and downs Sideways turns that throw you off balance The road you thought you knew turns unfamiliar Suddenly you're on your own Alone in the unknown, it's up to you to find the light

Flowers were planted here Beautiful and delicate I needed help to tend them I never learned to do it alone

Why must suffering exist? Why must love ones never return? Why must we endure hardship while those above us never learn?

Three kisses to tell you to wake up Ten kisses to say it's time to go Twenty kisses because I want attention and one kiss because I love you

Lots of people have helped me They showed me how to spread my wings Lifted me up, helped me take flight But then, I didn't know where to go

As your time here ends And you say farewell to old friends

Everyone here is sad to see you go But worry not, we're happy for you, I hope you know

I made this for you It's not much Just a paper flower Folded with care

I've watched you weep for burned bridges Long for times now long gone I've seen you cringe under accusing eyes Clinging to the past, unable to let go

There was a time when we were happy There weren't many other people with us But we didn't need anyone else We were happy to be together
