Pushing Leaves Towards the Sun

Out of respect we dress in black
Goodbyes under a sky of grey
Time to speak, no words to say
Tired of faking, “No, I’m not ok”

‘Can’t say goodbye
‘Can’t bare to say goodbye to my buddy Bear
For you my Bear, for you I cry
Can’t understand why you had to die

I wish you could be here today
Out of respect we dress in black
Out of respect we’re here to pray
Out of respect these words I say
I’ll always love and remember you
and in my heart you’ll always stay

‘Can’t say goodbye
‘Can’t bare to say goodbye to my buddy Bear
For you my Bear, for you I cry
Can’t understand why you had to die
