Hi everyone. This is Char.
I would like to share a new song with you all. I just finished writing it yesterday, and (although Sarah doesn't know it yet) I really really wanted to get it up as soon as possible. This is inspired by the horrific tragedy of the Connecticut shooting. I saw a photo on Instagram that said, 'Wear Green and White on Monday; those are Sandy Hook Elementary School Colours' ... and that was when this song came to me. I want everyone to know that I didn't write it for the recognition, but simply because the song came to me; I was inspired and I just had to write it.
You can read the lyrics right below....


I hugged you tight
Kissed you goodbye

And walked you to the door
I watched you walk away
For school that day

Like any day before
If I had known it then
All that would happen

You'd be with me now
If I could go back and change it somehow


Well I got the call
That changed it all
And rushed to the scene

To the terror there
Everyone so scared
But I kept on waiting

Faded hope burnt out
In that time I found
You weren't coming back

And I'd never hold your little hand
Nothing will ever be the same again


Inside that small elementary school
Its official colours were changed all too soon
They couldn't stop it although they did try

And that was the day red spilled on green and white
That was the day red spilled on green and white


Now there are candles lit
And flowers sit
Where love used to be

Recovery's thin
And grief fills in
All the holes gouged in me

I would do anything
To feel your heartbeat
At least one more time

And tell you it will be alright
The Friday your life slipped from mine


(Chorus)

And its almost Christmas

Its that time of year
But it doesn't mean anything
Without you here

And though the pain cuts so deep
Knowing your gone
Your spirit forever lives on

I can feel it right here in my heart

In my heart


(Chorus)


I hugged you tight
Kissed you goodbye
And walked you to the door
