The message hits them very deeply

Left them alone with their loss

They wanted to see to believe

But this is what they got told: 



"Don't go now and look at her

cause we hardly dared to look!

Tomorrow, you can go and see:

She will look as if she's sleepin'." 



Bridge:

Whenever a child dies

We will mourn the loss

Left alone, a world of stone

With no more love inside 



Refrain:

How could god be so greedy

To take away what we all love

And leave us with grief and sorrow

To mourn the loss of our little dove 



She drew pictures of her friend

She drew pictures of all evil

Disguised as a fairytale

So noone ever noticed it 



All they had was just a hunch

That something was not right

In their struggle against evil

To win salvation for the girl
