21 Lyrics by Delilah

From the Roots Up

2012

Twenty-one
I stumbled 'fore they came to get you
You locked yourself away

Steady on
The guilty trials they'll send to test you
I swear I cried that day

[Chorus]
But I'll wait for you to waken
I'll find the words to say and
I'll smile and take a picture on the day
You turn twenty-one
So blow out the candles make a wish and celebrate
I know I'll miss you more with each day you're gone away

Twenty-one
The day they cut your spirit from you
Scarred my heart with pain
Freedom on to inside a cage they kept you
And watched you die that way

[Chorus]
