Girl of sixteen
Slashed her wrists
Bored with lifeDidn't succeed
Thank The LordFor small mercie s
Fighting back the tears
Mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blameIt's always the same
She goes down on her knees
And prays
I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God'sGot a sick sense of humor
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing
Girl of eighteen
Fell in love with everything
Found new life in Jesus ChristHit by a car
Ended up
On a life support machineSummer's day
As she passed away
Birds were singing
In the summer's sky
Then came the rain
And once again
A tear fell
From her mother's eye
I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God'sGot a sick sense of humor
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing
