As I watch your life light burn away
where once you shone so very bright
for now you breathe in yesterday
it seems your mind floats faraway
you smile as if you've earned this plight
as I watch your life light burn away
Is there joy left inside your day
there's a need for me to make it right
for now you breathe in yesterday
I've wondered what to do, or say
to urge you, make you take up the fight
as I watch your life light burn away
I've even felt the need to pray
incase you're stolen from my sight
for now you breathe in yesterday
I'm a child who wants to run away
a coward distressed, a pitiful sight
as I watch your life light burn away
for now you breathe in yesterday
