lyrics

I took your hand and saw the scars on your arms.
You hushed me; I fought back tears
I could not stand to know your self inflicted pain.
You scooped up your bag and looked me in the eye.

When you couldn't make it another moment I saw you smile.

You were so busy then; You had no time for friends.
I stayed at school all day to see you that night.
The gravel lot was cold and dark; we walked to your car.
You fell, exhausted, I took you in my arms.

When you couldn't make it another moment I saw you smile.

The world's injustices weighed on you. You'd starve, cry, and write.
A martyr for every cause; you took up every fight.

You felt the sins of America and lamented imperialist might.
You battled the bungled and botched; you refused every white lie.

When you couldn't make it another moment I saw you smile.
