She was afraid and for the first time

She knew what it was to be really afraid.

He would have left her in his prime

Never a thought that his sister might fade

Bleeding but still alive, in desperate need

They found him there, almost dead

All he would do was bleed and bleed

Everything drowned in an ocean of red

The summer night wrapped around them

A family so afraid for their little boy

Mom sobbing, dad hurting, and sister numb

Scared cause he thought life was only a toy

Hating him, loving him, scared and confused

A call and a siren he was taken away

The family left there, all their hearts bruised

All they wanted to know was that he was ok

Just to know he would live to see another day.
