*TELL AMANDA MY FRIEND*

_(life and health to you Amanda)_

You may not understand this

But it doesn't matter anyway

Just tell Amanda my friend

I send life

This is another reason to survive

I know she's been through a lot

Father her first foe

Mother a moral murderer

Life has no meaning

To the one that have known too many betrayals

But tell her

Tell Amanda my friend 

I send life

I hear her loud sobs echoing over a thousand hills

Even in this faraway land

I feel her pain unwashed by the river of childhood

Where we once picked pebbles in the rain

Her tears floods into an ocean

Enough to float great mountains

The excitements of youthfulness is gone

Like it may never return

*Only the beckoning silence of the grave*

Please tell Amanda

I send life

She can still shake free 

Those dirt thrown at her by the twists of life

In every weakness, there is strength concealed

Find it, *Amanda find it*

In every darkness there is a candle unlit 

Kindle that flame and survive

Live, don't die

Life and health to you Amanda
