but he did…

Never saw the meaning in his being

Empty within,

Overcome by his sin…

 

Chorus

Why did he have to go away

So suddenly?

Why did he have to go away?

Only 17.

Took his future

Took his life in his hands.

Took his future, took his life.

 

Verse 2

She said her laughter died

the day the letter came.

Her life would never be the same

So filled with shame,

Overcome by the pain.

 

Chorus

 Why did she have to go away

So suddenly?

Why did she have to go away?

Only 17.

Took her future

Took her life in her hands.

Took her future, took her life.

 

 

Bridge

You have every reason to live!

You have every reason to live!

 

Verse 3

In every life

lies a truth waiting to be seen.

In our passions and in our dreams

In our destiny

Lies our meaning…

 

Chorus

 You don’t have to go away

So suddenly…

You don’t have to go away

So suddenly!

Don’t take your future

Don’t take your life in your  hands.

Change your future,  Don’t take your life.

  

Refrain

You have every reason to live!

You have every reason to live!!

You have every reason to live!!!
