There\\\'s a women crying out to night.
she\\\'s so ashamed.
she asked god why?
her son has died.
and now her daughter cries.
tossing and turning.
so many sleepless nights.

it\\\'s time for the suits and ties.
she has to be strong to get through the rough times.
as she let her daughter cry on her shoulder.
a chill up her spine was the coldest of the colder.

she remembers the last words her son said.
through the showing it ran through her head.
\\\"i know you\\\'re afraid. but you can\\\'t give up now.lean on my shoulder. soon it\\\'ll be over. I\\\'m building our future. I\\\'m doing this for us. you\\\'re the only one i love. the only one i trust.\\\"

that night before she went to bed.
something happened that she\\\'ll never forget.
her son came back as she asked in her prayers.
silently sitting there in her big blue chair.

cuts and bruises all over his face.
she looked at him and said I\\\'ll never be replaced.smiling as he faded away.
she knew she\\\'d see him another day.
