Left Behind (Rise Cast Version)

You fold his hands and smooth his tie

You gently lift his chin

Were you really so blind and unkind to him

Can't help the itch to touch to kiss

To hold him once again

Now to close his eyes never open them

A shadow passed a shadow passed

Yearning yearning for the fool it called a home

All things he never did are left behind

All the things his mama wished he'd bear in mind

And all his dad ever hoped he know

O-o-o-o-o-o

All the talks you never had

The Saturdays you never spent

All the grown up places you never went

And all of the crying you wouldn't understand

You just let him cry make a man out of him

A shadow passed a shadow passed

Yearning yearning for the fool it called a home

All things he ever wished are left behind

All the things his mama did to make him mind

And how his dad had hoped he'd grow

All things he ever lived are left behind

All the fears that ever flickered through his mind

All the sadness that he'd come to own

O-o-o-o-o-o

O-o-o-o-o-o
