Someone Died

Someone in my family has died
My mother, she cries as my father, he comes to tell me
«Someone in our family has died»
He says to me in a voice soft and shaking like a baby
Just yesterday she was here, now she’s gone
It does not seem like it’s real, something’s wrong
She’s gone, she’s gone
I can still see her face as I left
When I saw her this morning, things were bright and fresh
It was a new day
I can still hear the last thing that she said
Now everyone’s mourning her death
Now that she’s passed away
Just yesterday she was here, now she’s gone
It does not seem like it’s real, something’s wrong
She’s gone, she’s gone
I can still hear the last thing that she said
«A bird with a broken wing never soars so high again»
