She was ten
Balloons at the door
Artwork on the fridge
At the end of 4th grade
A whole life to dream for
Mom and Dad said
She couldn't wait for summer
Her laugh was contagious
Her light shined so bright
All taken from her
Why won't this change us?
Why won't we let the pain in
Then let love rearrange us?
We've been here before
The wolf's at the door
So we back down
All we do here is pray
But there's no more birthdays
In that Texas town
He was ten
With his hair slicked back
A wild-eyed grin
He liked to dance
He could run so fast
Mom and Dad said
He was the sweetest boy in his class
Every kiss, every hug
Every moment of love
They want everything back
Why won't this change us?
Why won't we let the pain in
Then let love rearrange us?
We've been here before
The wolf's at the door
So we back down
All we do here is pray
But there's no more birthdays
In that Texas town
Why won't this change us?
Why won't we let the pain in
Then let love rearrange us?
We've been here before
The wolf's at the door
So we back down
All we do here is pray
But there's no more birthdays
In that Texas town
All we do here is pray
And there's no more birthdays
