We were young, we were restless We were reaching for the skies We had passion and we burned down the night Just a high school prince and princess We built castles in the sky When you're so much in love There is no wrong or right We weren't ready for the child in our lives We weren't ready then We were children ourselves But it still hurts inside CHORUS I hope you're still up in heaven 'Cause I need you now I hope you're still a little angel And can hear my prayers somehow Someday when I'm older There will be no doubt I hope you're still up in heaven 'Cause I need you now You'd be sixteen now and counting You'd have lovers of your own And I'd be staying up just for you to come home When the gift of life is taken Can it ever be returned Or are you waiting in the wings of my soul We weren't ready for the child in our lives We weren't ready then We were children ourselves I know our choice was right You gotta make your choices It's gonna be your choice It's our God given right It's the gift of life To make your choices Some of them will hurt But you know what's right inside That's the gift of life Well now I'm ready I need somebody to hold My hands are empty And I'm reaching for you When I'm all alone The gift of life is precious I wanna give it back somehow
