Song Lyrics & Meaning

Little boy only 5 years old
First part of the story being told
Chapter 1 on his book called life
Never knew it would finish that night

Little boy only 5 years old
"Why mamma do I feel so cold?"
"Why mamma am I so alone?"
"Please mamma, don't let me go"

The reaper came in to play his part
Cancer was the number that called
Told the boy had to pay his dues
Sad part is he was younger than you

We try so hard
To keep the lives of the ones we adore
But sometimes the rain pours
And a better place is what's in store

Little boy now you're safe and sound
No more sickness to take you down
Too young and too soon to die
So rest in peace, you'll hear them cry

We try so hard
To keep the lives of the ones we adore
But sometimes the rain pours
And a better place is what's in store

I cry so hard

(This was one of my first songs written. The first song that I actually took seriously and poured my heart and soul into. Definatly one of the most difficult songs to write due to the fact that it was written prior to a death in the family. I started it a couple of days after one of my cousins in the Philippines passed away from leukemia. He was only 5 years old and his name was CJ. I only ever got the chance to meet him once, but the grief and heartache that my family must have felt inspired me to write this song. The song is dedicated to all of my family and the people who once got to live and share their life with the boy named CJ.)
