There's a saying that the good die young
and it sure proves to be the truth
but I will never understand why God
takes good people in their youth
The world is filled with so much sorrow
so much hate and greed and pain
so doesn't it make better sense
if the good ones, here could remain?
For they spread their seeds of kindness
make this world a better place to live
and we do need more good people around
they teach us how to love and give
It truly pains me to see
yet another precious, kind soul depart
I just don't understand God sometimes
and it's weighing heavy on my heart
God says His ways are not our own
and this surely is the case
I wish that I could understand
as the tears roll down my face
But I guess this is not our home
and it was never meant to be
and maybe I'll only really understand
when it is MY turn to leave
