If Someone Really Cared

© 2013 Mark Cote

The bird that cries in silence
do you ever hear her call
tumbling down is so slowly
no one ever sees her fall

In this inward turning struggle
a smile can hide it all
the comfort of the darkness
or climb above the wall

(bridge) I can hear her tears when she sings
               and to the melody that she clings
               If someone really cared
               she still might be around

(chorus) And I know
                  she still may have stumbled
                  but at least
                  she still would be there
                  down this well
                  of sorrow she's falling
                  grab her heart and keep it sound
                  if someone really cared
                  she still might be around

to hard to face her demons
not strong enough to cry
every time I read the details
I just have to wonder why

lost now in the shadows
the rustle in the wind
the one that fell down here from heaven
has flown back to there again

(bridge) I can hear her tears when she sings
               angel baby got her wings
               if someone really cared
               she still might be around

(chorus)
