Over two years ago now, a fifteen year old boy in Wales committed suicide by lying in front of a train. It was suspected he'd been bullied over his sexuality. The story broke my heart. This is for him. I think I can understand your mind A train passes by And it only reminds me of you The cruelties they gave When you only wanted to live And to love as everyone has the right to But they slowly killed you Stabbed you with every taunt Just because of who you were And the beautiful person you wanted to be Why do people hold so much hate? When they can be like us and love But they don’t understand our minds And people, they’ll turn blind To the ones who did this to you Just because you were different. But I read your story And I felt your pain Because in many ways we are the same And one day after I’ve closed my eyes I’ll shake your hand. Only fifteen when you took your life Still a child as they pushed you onto the track But no longer are you oppressed No longer do you need to suffer You're with Jesus now And you shall live forever
