[Verse 1]
This is the first day the flowers wilt and fold
Nothing reverses, aridity takes hold

[Chorus]
The call could've been answered
The wall would’ve been questioned
The fall should've been prevented
But it is what it is

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
This is the first day our friend is free from pain
Voyaging on while the rest of us remain

[Chorus]
The call could've been answered
The wall would’ve been questioned
The fall should've been prevented
But it is what it is
