Audrey was a girl that sat in my classroom
She never said a word
She just said there furtively
I never noticed her untill I heard the radio
telling about the way she took her life
Today it`s all upon the covers of the papers
about her folks at home
I guess her daddy`s a drinker
Her mummy left her when she was just a tiny child
Tell me Audrey was that the first time you felt abandonment?
Hold on baby don`t be sorry
Cause every day has it`s ups and downs
Hold on baby there`ll be sunshine
Cause every life has its stormy nights
I come to think about it there`s something 
I can recall about her arms
They had blue spots on them
I remember that I was thinking those thoughts to myself
Is it wrong to wonder about somebody else`s problems
I`m not burdened with at all
Hold on baby don`t be sorry
Cause every day has it`s ups and downs
Hold on baby there`ll be sunshine
Cause every life has its stormy nights
But there, there she`s laying down on the bottom of the river
Tell me what crime did it take
to pretend this girl`s only willingless
But I will pray that someday she`ll rise again
If you`re out there
I hope you can see my sorrow and pain of guilt
I never asked you how you were
But one thing I can asure you 
after witnessing what is been done
I will open my heart to the new girl that sits next door
Hold on baby don`t be sorry
Cause every day has it`s ups and downs
Hold on baby there`ll be sunshine
Cause every life has its stormy nights
