It Happened Anyway

When Jamie died And I didn't understand The eternity of my sadness I wished I could have prevented it When I rest in bed Dream about how I could have Lived and played with my brother How I wished that I could have saved him If wishing could bring him back He'd be here with me today But then, I remember It happened anyway When I look at pictures And imagine what he would be like Now a dozen years old I wish I could have saved him from agelessness If crying could bring him back He'd be here with me today But then, I remember It happened anyway When I think of why and how He was with us and left us I wished I could have prevented it And stopped his death, and saved him from Never needing breath for birthday candles Birthday candles If wishing could bring him back He'd be here with me today But then, I remember It happened anyway
