The world has lost a child today,
there is sadness in the air.
One day you were right here with us,
the next day you weren't there.

Whether you were a good friend,
or just a face in the hall.
Your death has forever changed us,
your loss affects us all.

We will miss your big, bright smile,
and the friendship that you gave.
The laughter you created
is something that we'll save.

Your desk in class is empty,
your voice is silent, too.
Things won't ever be the same again,
oh, how could this happen to you.

We cannot help but wonder,
why one so young was taken.
We keep hoping for some message,
that God was just mistaken.

But the truth is that you're gone
but in your hearts you'll always stay.
We'll all find a way to remember you,
each in out own special way.

The world has lost a child today,
there is sadness in the air.
We will carry on your memory,
because we'll always care.
