to my mummy and dad:

dear mommy and dad
how are you both today?
i promised i wont be sad
but there's lotsa stuff i wanna say

you walked out the door
leaving me home alone
i wanted you to stay some more
but you said you had to go

so i stayed up in my room
played with my toys and bears
hearing the thunder go boom
it really gave me a scare

i almost fell asleep
then came knock on the door
i had to take a peep
being curious and all

there were two policeman
a man and a girl
they said i was to go with them
my mind in a swirl

no, i said, my mummy's not home
i couldnt leave like that
they wanted to borrow the phone
and so they came in and sat

the girl dialed a number
then gave the phone to me
she said i had to listen
there was something i needed to know

i heard my aunt's voice
she sounded strange and sad
she said i had no choice
that i was to follow them back

they told me you were dead
gone forever more
and the more that they said
my heart felt sore

we had a funeral for the two of you
you were killed in a car accident
it rained the whole day through
and i just wanted to die too

my friends no longer wanted to play
they all ran away from me
they didnt have anything more to say
i was weird to them, you see

but thank god for sammie small
the only one standing by me
she was my friend through it all
the bestest a friend could be

whenever i was sad
she'd tell me some stories
if my day was bad,
she'd tell me she was sorry

when i missed my mummy
and when i missed my dad
if i had a bad tummy
she'd be there just like that

she told me that i was never alone
that my mum and dad were with me
that you were the wind blowing strong
the stars in the sky plain for all to see

so every night before i go to sleep
i sit by my window
my hair the wind would whip
and the stars just glow

and i'd close my eyes
and talk to you
remembering all the times
you were with me, you two

i'm leaving soon
going to live with aunt
sammie says she's comming too
though i said she cant

where would she sleep?
with her big white wings
i dont think aunt would be pleased
with those funny things

mummy and daddy i love you
but i have to go and start anew
i'm sure you'll go with me too
and please pray for me, will you?
