Wildfires in the Snow
How much until the scale begins to tip
Sinking deeply to a place you prayed others wouldn't slip
It's tough to not be angry asking how you could have left
Heartbroken that you dipped to that level of depressed
In all of this darkness somehow you had a light
A spark that shone brightly and gave others hope for life
I'm sorry it all just became too much
That it seemed the only way was for you to give up
Everything you sang was for your community
Inspiring nations you reached for betters things
Lifting your people up with language and the drum
Knowing there was good things still yet to come
You saw the beauty in it all and the job you had to do
Using laughter as a tool and that smile of yours too
You believed in easier days but there just was too much weight
I wish I could do more for you but now
I promise to carry on from the groundwork that you laid
I'll never let your death only be in vain
Your life touched more people than you'll ever know
You sparked wildfires even in the snow
Sinking deeply to a place you prayed others wouldn't slip
It's tough to not be angry asking how you could have left
Heartbroken that you dipped to that level of depressed
In all of this darkness somehow you had a light
A spark that shone brightly and gave others hope for life
I'm sorry it all just became too much
That it seemed the only way was for you to give up
Everything you sang was for your community
Inspiring nations you reached for betters things
Lifting your people up with language and the drum
Knowing there was good things still yet to come
You saw the beauty in it all and the job you had to do
Using laughter as a tool and that smile of yours too
You believed in easier days but there just was too much weight
I wish I could do more for you but now
I promise to carry on from the groundwork that you laid
I'll never let your death only be in vain
Your life touched more people than you'll ever know
You sparked wildfires even in the snow
