She gave up on her life, for the one who is missing
But the face of bravery she wore
A piece of light from her heart, locked away in prison
How was she to just keep living
In her sadness she pulled up her head
For the others she pretended to live
With a broken mind, heart, and spirit
In her sole burned the memory of him
A small boy running free to her
A smile upon his face
She gathered him up in her arms
Held on tight to his sweetness
She didn't know they would steal him away
Without his freedom he grew to a man
All the lies they told took away his youth
And there she is standing strong next to him
In her mind she knows he's innocent
Her hearts screaming out his innocence
She gave up one her life, for the one who is missing
But the face of bravery she wore
A piece of light from her heart, lock away in prison
How was she to just keep living
In this world there is no fairness
Justice is kept so far away
In the coldness of their hearts
They left the truth untold
Stole his life, stole his youth
Locked him away for life
And he was still just a boy
In her heart I can see all the pain
Though she keeps faith that his freedom will come
On that day......
She'll gather him up in her arms
Hold on tight to his sweetness
Then she'll remember how to just keep living
She gave up on her life, for the one who is missing
But the face of bravery she wore
A piece of light from her heart, locked away in prison
How was she to just keep living
