Hold back the wave from the shore   Hide every pathway to your door   Count all the tears behind your eyes   Go tell the dawn it's not to rise      To the world, to the moon   In words across the sky   To the stars   I scream these words out loud   To the night   With thoughts that tear inside   He is gone, he is gone      Hold back the day from the night   Turn all the darkness into light   Go tell the dogs they're not to bark   Silence the singing of the lark      He is gone   And I don't know if I'll ever feel the same again   He is gone   But I know I never want to feel this pain again   Inside again      Turn back the seasons of the year   Turn off the music in your ear   Follow the bird that starts to fly   Comfort the children as they cry
