Dear Sandy

Dear Sandy,
I write you as family 
You’re like a brother after all we’ve been through
I sense a change,
A feeling, it’s strange
It breaks my heart what I’m seeing in you

Is there a dark cloud over your town?
What is the rain on your parade?
Who could reach the spark in your eye
And steal it away?

Don’t let it die
Don’t let it die
Don’t let it

Was it the girl you invested your world around
Only to slip through your hands?
Was it the industry that crashed into misery
That you fell in love with as a young man?

Was it the home you built from your bones
For all your friends before they left you betrayed?
Was there a dream that broke at the seams
And drifted away?

Don’t let it die
Don’t let it die
Don’t let it die
Don’t let it die

Dear Sandy,
Please understand me
I miss your smile when it was bright as the sun
How you would dance
How you’d travel the lands
You were a force that would unite everyone

How you believed in a world set free
All hands together, healing our hurts
You bet on love and it was crazy enough
I thought it could work

Don’t let it die
Don’t let it die
Don’t let it die
Don’t let it die
