Girl of 16
whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists bored with life
Didn’t succeed
– thank the Lord for some mercy
Fighting back the tears
Mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burning in her mind
She takes the blame
– it’s always the same
She goes down on her knees and prays
I don’t want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God’s
got a sick sense of humour
And when I die I expect
to find him laughing
Girl of 18 feeling love with everything
Found new life in Jesus Christ
Hit by a car ended up
On a life support machine
Summer day as she passed away
Birds were singing in summer sky
Then came the rain and once again
A tear dropped from her mother’s eye
