Galahad - Another Life Not Lived

And as hope melts away
You try to raise yourself to face another day
Though the pain seems too much to bear
And nothing at this point in your life seems fair
And it's not enough, it's just enough to know
That so many family and friends really care
It means nothing at all, nothing at all
When the centre of your world has been taken away so mercilessly

Another life not lived, a young life unfulfilled
A life full of promise and hope, on the cusp of living
Another life not lived, a young life unfulfilled
A life full of promise and hope, cut short by a cruel twist of fate

And finally, reality takes a cold grip
This is not a phase, there's no escape
And you question what is there worth living for
Nothing makes sense to you anymore
And you question, how are you going to carrying on
Surviving your one and only son……

And as you try to picture all the good times that you shared
A show reel of memories playing through your head
You crack a smile but it's not real
you cannot hide the devastation
The devastation that you feel deep inside, so deep inside…

Another life not lived, a young life unfulfilled
A life full of promise and hope, on the cusp of living
Another life not lived, a young life unfulfilled
A life full of promise and hope, cut short by a cruel twist of fate
Another life not lived, a young life unfulfilled
A life full of promise and hope, on the cusp of living, living….

But deep in our hearts you will forever be
You will forever remain, never fade away
You will always be a part of us
You will never fade away
