God Took You Away Anyway

by Heather Williams - Libra

I was thumbing through an old photo album
I found pictures of signs
Announcing "The Tyson Smith benefit...
He has been diagnosed with cancer...
His family needs money"
I didn't understand
That I would lose you so quickly
They raised thousands of dollars for you
People wrote that we would beat it...
Nobody did...
They did everything for nothing
God took you away into the clouds
Of pink and purple and yellow and white
I prayed everynight
Stayed up bawling for you
Stayed home from school...
But God took you away anyway
