Can you hear me

Lyrics: Silence Music: Silence Arranger: Silence I can’t hear that You call my name who am I Why am I here Why is the brightness gone Where have my body gone Who can help me Can you hear me ?
Mommy braided my hair this morning She said she'd buy me ice cream after school I held my new books and ran to class Why hasn't school ended yet Why don't I feel the passage of time
Can you hear me I'm right here Standing in this broken light Can you hear me Don't you see I haven't left your side Tell my mama I'm not cold Tell my papa I'm not scared I just wish you could feel me Holding you the way you held me
The sun is coming through now I can see the dust dance Will anyone remember us We want to forget this world completely Why us Why don't you give me the opportunity to grow up
Can you hear me I'm right here Standing in this broken light Can you hear me Don't you see I haven't left your side Tell my mama I'm not cold Tell my papa I'm not scared I just wish you could feel me Holding you the way you held me
They said God is in heaven Is that where I am going But heaven is my ice cream After school If I have to leave here now And watch from somewhere new Will heaven let me visit When my mama misses me too
Can you hear me In the quiet When you wake up from the dream Can you hear me In the birdsong In the sunlight on the stream
I'll be every dandelion You blow into the air I'll be every raindrop That tells you I am there
So when you call my name at night And no one answers back Know I'm holding both your hands In a place that doesn't crack
I'm not gone
