Too Young to Die

Sideways rain
Like a dead end wall
Thunder and lightning striking hard
That's how I feel
You're hidden somewhere
Beyond the clouds
Wrapt in the drapery
Of Heaven's shrouds
How could you ever get yourself so high?
You were too young to die.
You're like a rainbow
In a vicious storm
Destruction and danger all around you
You make something in me warm
Well, it didn't have
To be this way
You could have lived
To be here today
What are you doing up there
in the sky?
You were too young to die.
And I'd change everything
If I could bring you back
Trade in my money
For the currency of the past
Turn back the clock
So you would come back strong
Change the course of time
'Cause you were too young to die
Something in my heart
Won't survive
Life is different when you're
young
You feel less alive
So you go to such great length
To feel life. It gives you
strength.
Some go too far, give up, or don't
even try.
Every one's too young to die.
And as you age,
The past becomes younger than you.
Maybe when you're old,
The world feels like brand new.
You're like a shooting star
In my memory.
It's dizzying how your whole life
Can flash right in front of me.
There are so many people
Just like you
Who didn't have a chance,
Or went and blew it.
What's the point of even asking
why?
You were too young to die.
And I'd change everything
If I could bring you back,
Trade in my money
For the currency of the past;
Turn back the clock,
So you would come back strong,
Change the course of time.
'Cause you were too young to die
