We all believed we knew you
The things you tried to hide
The legacy of sadness
That ate you up inside
The laughter covering the tears
The pain went up in smoke
The hesitation in your thoughts
The cryptic words you spoke
Sometimes I saw behind your eyes
The struggles you went through
I saw a thousand warning signs
Not knowing what to do
Daddy said God understands
The souls lost in despair
And finally takes them in his arms
And keeps them in his care
Thinking of your suffering
Just tears me up inside
Wishing I had somehow seen
The things you tried to hide
