She Could Be

This song I started out writing about Christine, but then my little cousin went to the hospital so I wrote it for her. It's about a girl who killed herself and another girl who might do the same

‘‘She Could Be’’

                         

A troubled young girl

No older than sixteen

Full of tears Full of fears

With nowhere to go

Her troubles are chains

Bonds constricting her

From all she could be

 

She could be happy

She could be hopeful

She could be the girl saving you

She could have joy

She could have faith

She could have everything she wanted

But she chose death

 

Everything is hopeless

She cries out as her wrist bleeds

Full of blame Full of shame

With nothing to say

She has given up

Tomorrow she will be gone

From all she could be

 

Chorus

 

Will you make the same mistake?

Will you throw your life away?

Can you deal with the consequences?

Imprisoned in death’s very fences

Listen well

She would say

Don’t do this to yourself

Don’t throw your life away

Turn to Him

There’s no other way

 

 

Chorus 2

 

You can be happy

You can be hopeful

You can be saving someone else

You can have joy

You can have faith

You can have everything she wanted

If you choose God
