A/N: Wrote this song for two boys that just recently passed away in my town. They were involved in a one-car crash. The driver is in serious condition and is at a children's hospital about and hour and half away from our town. They were all only sixteen years old.

Hearts & Prayers

Well I heard the news today
Two more teens have passed away
It was too sad to even listen
It was too sad to even read
The news was heartbreaking

They were too young
Barely seventeen
So naïve
Filled with so much potential
It shouldn’t have happened
This way
They shouldn’t have left
So soon

We’ll miss you.

The only child in a family
Was taken away
They held each other close
As they neared their breaking point
And said

They were too young
Barely seventeen
So naïve
Filled with so much potential
It shouldn’t have happened
This way
They shouldn’t have left
So soon

A younger brother was gone
The future had been taken away
Their names would be in prayers
Their hearts never forgotten

Well I heard the news today
Two more teens have passed away

They were too young
Barely seventeen
So naïve
Filled with so much potential
It shouldn’t have happened
This way
They shouldn’t have left
So soon

We’ll miss you.
