Grave Beyond The Courtyard Gate
I wrote this song after a friend of the family's son took his own life.

Just beyond the courtyard gate
Rests the sadness life can create
He felt like he didn't have a choice
Now desperation stole his voice
I felt so empty as I cried
Like a part of me had died
Life it can be so unfair
I pray a silent prayer
Feeling nothing but the pain
How can I explain
These tears I cannot contain
Crying over your grave
Why must it be this way
There's nothing more that you can say
You're gone, You're finally free
But, look at what's left of me
He never really had a chance
A victim of a circumstance
As I read the writing on his stone
I'm reminded you left us all alone
As I try hard to understand
This wasn't the way that your life was planned
I feel so empty inside
All caused by your suicide
Feeling nothing but the pain
How can I explain
These tears I cannot contain
Crying over your grave
Why must it be this way
There's nothing more that you can say
You're gone, You're finally free
But, look at what you've done to me
Just beyond the courtyard gate
I felt like I would suffocate
As I lay my flowers upon your grave
Trying hard to be brave
I miss your smile, I miss your face
I pray the lord gave you all of his love and grace
I'm sorry that you thought this was the only way
That you had to end your life last Saturday
Feeling nothing but the pain
How can I explain
These tears I cannot contain
Crying over your grave
Why must it be this way
There's nothing more that you can say
You're gone, You're finally free
But, look at what you've done to me
Now, that it's all said and done
I won't let you fade away like the setting sun
I'll share your struggles and the reason's why
In the hopes of preventing another suicide
I'll share your love and your pain
I won't let your death die in vain
There has to be a better way
Don't give up, tomorrow's a brand new day
Feeling nothing but the pain
How can I explain
These tears I cannot contain
Crying over your grave
Why must it be this way
There's nothing more that you can say
You're gone, You're finally free
But, look at what you've done to me
