Stay We wake each day believing we'll be okay, Not knowing how quickly life can slip away. So young, so naive, we never truly see, Lord, I beg You - spare us, meet us in our needs. Spare us each day in every way, So we can speak the words we long to say. We played, we worked, we learned, we grew, Through fleeting days that felt so new, To grow, to learn, yet life is stern-How much more time will time return? We live, we breathe, we love, we leave, And when it ends, how we grieve. I don't want to cry, I don't want goodbye, Please don't fade, please don't die. You are my all, my heart, my need, So here I kneel, I beg, I plead.
