[Verse 1]
Someone in my family has died
My mother, she cries as my father, he comes to tell me
"Someone in our family has died"
He says to me in a voice soft and shaking like a baby

[Chorus]
Just yesterday she was here, now she's gone
It does not seem like it's real, something's wrong
She's gone, she's gone

[Verse 2]
I can still see her face as I left
When I saw her this morning, things were bright and fresh
It was a new day
I can still hear the last thing that she said
Now everyone's mourning her death
Now that she's passed away

[Chorus]
Just yesterday she was here, now she's gone
It does not seem like it's real, something's wrong
She's gone, she's gone

[Outro]
I can still hear the last thing that she said
"A bird with a broken wing never soars so high again"
